Replacing a missing tooth, or several missing teeth, with a dental bridge is one of the best things you can do for your smile, confidence, and day-to-day comfort. A well-fitted bridge not only restores the natural look of your teeth but also supports proper function when eating, speaking, and smiling.

Our custom-made dental bridges are designed to be strong, long-lasting, and cosmetically pleasing. Love your smile again, thanks to dental bridges.

​

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that literally “bridges the gap” left by one or more missing teeth. It is made up of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are anchored securely to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap.

Today’s bridges are lightweight, durable, and carefully designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth – making them almost impossible to tell apart from the real thing.

​

What to Expect from a Dental Bridge

During your initial consultation, we will discuss your options for replacing missing teeth and explain the benefits of each. It’s important to us that patients feel fully informed about their treatment, particularly as tooth replacement can have a life-changing impact.

We will take digital scans, impressions (moulds), and photographs to ensure the bridge is designed with a high level of precision. Usually, it takes 2–3 visits, spaced a couple of weeks apart, to prepare the supporting teeth, fit a temporary bridge, and finally secure your permanent bridge in place. At your final visit, we’ll check that the bridge fits comfortably, your bite is correct, and that the aesthetics match your expectations.

​

What Types of Dental Bridges are Available?

We offer several types of bridges, depending on your needs:

• Traditional Bridge – supported by crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap.

• Cantilever Bridge – used when there is only one natural tooth next to the space.

• Maryland Bridge – uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of neighbouring teeth.

• Implant-Supported Bridge – secured by dental implants for added strength and stability.

We’ll recommend the best type of bridge for your individual case.

​

Why Choose a Dental Bridge?

• Replace missing teeth without surgery.

• Restore your ability to chew, bite, and speak naturally.

• Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.

• Enhance facial balance and give your smile a fuller appearance.

• Long-lasting and less expensive than implants.

Aftercare:

Some aftercare tips to follow after getting a dental bridge include:

• Brush and floss daily, especially around the bridge and under the false tooth.

• Use a floss threader or interdental brush to keep the area clean.

• Avoid chewing very hard foods on your bridge.

• Visit us regularly for dental check-ups and professional cleaning.

• If you experience any discomfort or looseness, book an appointment for adjustments.

With the right care, a dental bridge can last for many years, giving you a strong, natural-looking smile.
