Dental Bridges

A natural-looking way to fill the gap when you have a small number of teeth to replace.

What is a bridge?

Replacing missing teeth, beautifully

A dental bridge is usually used where there are a small number of teeth to replace, or when the missing teeth are only on one side of the mouth.

Bridges are usually made of a precious metal base, with porcelain placed over the metal to match the shade and shape of the teeth beside the gap.

  • Matches your natural shade
  • Fills small gaps
  • Fixed in place

Types of bridge

Two main categories

There are a number of types or designs of bridge, but broadly speaking they fall into two categories. We’ll help you choose the right one.

01Strongest option

Conventional bridges

  • Good cosmetics
  • Strong
  • Require extensive preparation (removal of enamel) from adjacent supporting teeth
02Gentler option

Adhesive bridges

  • Require less preparation, so are kinder to adjacent teeth
  • Typically cost less
  • Good cosmetics
  • Rely completely on the adhesive used to bond them in, so they are not as robust
  • Cosmetics not quite as good as conventional bridges

“I was extremely nervous about the change but was recommended to this practice and took the plunge with both of my sons in tow. Marcus has been brilliant. His manner is reassuring, informative and thorough. The dental nurses, reception staff and hygienists are all great. The payment plan is also a good idea. Highly recommended.”
