Dental Bridges: A Secure Solution for Missing Teeth
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Bridges not only restore chewing ability and appearance; they also prevent shifting teeth, bite changes and jaw strain that often occur after a tooth is lost.
Bridges are ideal when: 
- You have one or more missing teeth
- You want a fixed, non-removable solution
- Implants are not preferred or not suitable
With a bridge, you can regain a stable bite, natural tooth shape and balanced oral function.
Inlays and Onlays: Conservative, Precision Restorations
Inlays and onlays are custom-made restorations used when a tooth needs more support than a filling but doesn’t require a full crown. They are fabricated to fit precisely into or onto the tooth and are bonded securely in place.
- Inlays fit inside the grooves of the tooth, rebuilding areas damaged by moderate decay or wear.
- Onlays, sometimes called 'partial crowns', extend over one or more cusps, restoring a larger portion of the tooth’s surface.
They are ideal for:
- Moderate decay
- Fractures that don’t involve the entire tooth
- Large, failing fillings
- Patients wanting a more conservative alternative to crowns
Inlays and onlays preserve more natural tooth structure while offering excellent strength and longevity.
