What are the options?

Bridges to replace your missing teeth

[bridge before and after] [teeth]What is a Bridge?

A Bridge is a fixed restoration option.  The fantastic result in this before and after photo was achieved by Dr Baber Khan, using a Resin Bonded Bridge.

It is a simple way to replace a missing tooth, without having to prepare the adjacent teeth and it is fixed in place.

There are other bridge options to consider, depending on the health and presence of teeth either side of the space you wish to restore.

  • Cantilever Bridges, restore a gap with a false tooth that is supported by a crowned tooth on one side of it.
  • Traditional Bridges, restore a gap with a false tooth which is supported by a crowned tooth on either side it.

What are Dentures?

Dentures are available to either replace one or several teeth.

  • Partial Denture – Will replace some missing teeth
  • Full Denture – Will replace all missing teeth (upper and/or lower teeth)

Dentures are removable and are available in acrylic (plastic) or Chrome (metal) variations.

The Denture making process is carried out over several stages to:

  • Take accurate measurements of your remaining teeth/mouth,
  • Gauge how you bite
  • Get a natural looking result

Don’t just take our word for it…  Here are a few words of appreciation from our patients

I had a very positive experience with Crook log Dental Practice. I went in a little embarrassed but wanting to finally have a thorough checkup and address some issues with my teeth that I have been putting off too long. Doctor Kajal Tutt was very understanding, she told me what I needed to hear without making me feel judged and talked me through all my options in detail. Big thumbs up from me. Also for the ladies at Reception, very nice overall experience. A Geissler

On Friday evening, my sister experienced an incident resulting in trauma and blunt force to her front teeth. For any young woman, this is incredibly distressing to see missing or broken teeth. The thought of needing dentures at just 22 is daunting. I called Crook Log Dental Practice for an emergency appointment, and they scheduled us in immediately for Saturday. The dentist assessed the situation promptly, providing temporary solutions and discussing future options. We returned later for further treatment. Dr. Khan’s swift action and reassurance have given my sister hope and gratitude. Thank you, Dr. Khan. G Cook
