Dental Bridges
Are you having a missing tooth? We can replace your lost tooth via a dental bridge.
A dental bridge is a dental prosthesis/ appliance that replaces your missing tooth/ teeth via taking the support of adjacent teeth. While the adjacent teeth are called abutments, the artificial teeth are called pontics.
The bridge is also known as FPD/ Fixed Partial Denture. At Ponsonby dental boutique, we help you choose the bridge that suits your needs the most, tooth-coloured or metal or gold or a combination. Generally, the metal ones are the best when it comes to function, and ceramic ones are the best for looks. PFM/ Porcelain Fused to Metal falls in between.
