Bridging the gap, naturally.
Dental bridges are fixed restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. We create custom bridges that anchor to natural teeth or dental implants, helping restore your smile, bite and confidence.
What are they?
Dental bridges are custom-made prosthetic teeth that fill the gap left by missing teeth. They are supported by neighbouring teeth or implants and are designed to look and function like natural teeth.
Bridges are recommended when one or more teeth are missing and the surrounding teeth are strong enough for support. They are a good alternative when dentures or implants are not preferred.
The benefits
- Chew and speak normally again
- Stops neighbouring teeth shifting into the gap
- Maintains your natural facial structure
- Fixed in place, with no need to remove it
Your bridge, step by step.
Preparation
We prepare the teeth either side of the gap, or use implants, and take precise impressions of your bite.
Temporary fit
A temporary restoration protects the area while your custom bridge is crafted to match your natural teeth.
Permanent placement
Your finished bridge is securely fixed in place, restoring your bite and the look of your smile.
Common questions.
How long do bridges last?
With proper care, dental bridges can last 10 to 15 years or more. Regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups keep the supporting teeth and gums healthy, extending the life of your bridge.
How do I care for my bridge?
Brush twice daily, use specialised floss to clean under the bridge, and keep up regular dental visits so the supporting teeth and gums stay healthy.
Is getting a bridge fitted painful?
No. The preparation is done under local anaesthetic and is no more uncomfortable than having a filling.
Are bridges better than implants or dentures?
Each option suits different situations. Bridges are a strong choice when the neighbouring teeth are healthy. We will talk you through all your options honestly.
