What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It's anchored to the natural teeth on either side of the gap, filling the space with custom-made porcelain teeth that look and function like your own.
The most common use. A three-unit bridge replaces one missing tooth by anchoring to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.
If you're missing two or three adjacent teeth, a longer bridge can span the gap and restore a full section of your smile in one piece.
If you're tired of a removable denture that moves or feels bulky, a fixed bridge offers a permanent, more comfortable alternative.
Not everyone is a candidate for implants. A bridge can be an excellent option when bone levels, medical conditions or personal preference rule out surgery.
A gap left untreated allows neighbouring teeth to drift and tilt over time, changing your bite. A bridge holds everything in position.
Missing teeth can affect how you chew and pronounce certain words. A bridge brings back normal function so you can eat and speak with confidence.
Why choose a dental bridge?
A bridge is a proven, non-surgical way to replace missing teeth, restoring the way you look, eat and speak without the need for a removable denture.
How your bridge is fitted
The process usually takes two appointments, with a temporary bridge protecting the prepared teeth while the permanent one is made in the lab.
We examine the gap and the teeth on either side, take X-rays and discuss whether a bridge is the best option for your situation.
Under local anaesthetic, we gently reshape the teeth on either side of the gap so they can support the bridge. Any decay is removed at the same time.
We take a precise digital scan of the prepared teeth and the gap. This is sent to the lab so the bridge is crafted to fit your mouth exactly.
A temporary bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth and fill the gap while your permanent bridge is being made. You can eat and speak normally.
At your second appointment, we fit the final porcelain bridge. We check the colour, shape, fit and bite before cementing it permanently in place.
