Dental Bridges

Restore missing teeth and rebuild your smile

Missing one or more teeth can impact your ability to chew, speak clearly, and feel confident in your smile. A dental bridge offers a practical and natural-looking solution by literally "bridging the gap" between teeth — restoring function and aesthetics with long-term results.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a custom-made prosthetic used to replace one or more missing teeth. It typically consists of:

One or more false teeth (pontics).
Anchored in place by crowns on the neighbouring natural teeth (abutment teeth).
Or supported by dental implants, in some cases.
Bridges are permanently fixed in place — they do not need to be removed like dentures.

When is a Bridge Needed?

Dental bridges are recommended when:

You’re missing one or more teeth in a row.
You have healthy teeth on either side of the gap (or suitable for implants).
You want a non-removable alternative to partial dentures.
You're looking to restore chewing ability, speech, and smile appearance.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

Restores your smile and fills visible gaps.
Improves chewing and speech function.
Prevents shifting of surrounding teeth.
Maintains facial shape by supporting jaw and bone health.
Fixed in place — no slipping or daily removal.
Can be colour-matched to blend with your natural teeth.

The Bridge Treatment Process

Consultation & Examination: We assess your teeth, take X-rays, and discuss your best options.
Tooth Preparation: If using adjacent teeth, they are gently shaped to hold the crowns that support the bridge.
Impressions or Digital Scan: We take a mould or scan to create a bridge that fits precisely.
Temporary Bridge (if needed): A temporary bridge may be placed while your final one is being made in a dental lab.
Fitting the Final Bridge: Once ready, we ensure a perfect fit and cement the bridge securely in place.

How long do Bridges Last?

Dental bridges can last 10 to 15 years or more with good care, regular dental visits, and proper hygiene.

Restore function & confidence

If you’re missing teeth, a dental bridge can help you chew comfortably, speak clearly, and smile with confidence again — without the inconvenience of removable dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is a dental bridge better than an implant?

It depends on your situation. Implants are ideal when there's enough bone and no desire to involve adjacent teeth. Bridges may be better
when adjacent teeth already need crowns or when implant surgery isn’t suitable.

2. How do I clean under a dental bridge?

You’ll need to brush and floss daily, using special floss or a water flosser to clean underneath the bridge. We’ll show you exactly how
during your appointment.

3. Will people notice I have a bridge?

No — bridges are made to blend in with your natural teeth in shape and colour. They’re carefully designed for a seamless smile.

4. Does the procedure hurt?

No — the procedure is done under local anaesthetic, and we ensure you’re comfortable throughout. Some mild sensitivity afterward is
normal but temporary.

5. Can a bridge be placed over implants?

Yes! If you're missing multiple teeth and implants are appropriate, an implant-supported bridge offers excellent strength, stability, and a
natural look.
