What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed solution used to replace one or more missing teeth. It quite literally “bridges” the gap by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or crowns on either side. These supporting teeth are known as abutments, and the replacement tooth in the middle is called a pontic.
What are dental bridges used for?
- Replace missing teeth – Bridges fill the gap where one or more teeth are missing, restoring the look and function of your smile.
- Prevent teeth from shifting – Gaps can cause surrounding teeth to drift. A bridge keeps everything in place and aligned.
- Improve chewing and speech – Missing teeth can affect your ability to chew or speak clearly. Bridges help restore both.
- Support facial structure – Replacing lost teeth helps maintain your facial shape and prevents that “sunken” look.
- Provide a fixed alternative to dentures – Bridges stay in place, giving you more confidence than a removable denture.
Missing a tooth? Let’s talk about the right solution for you – no pressure, just honest advice.
Benefits getting a dental bridge
Dental bridges are a trusted, long-lasting way to restore your smile after tooth loss.
Bridges are fixed in place – no need to remove them at night, and they feel more like natural teeth.
They’re tailored to your smile – shaped and shaded to match your natural teeth for a seamless look.
They’re ideal if you’re not suitable for implants or prefer a non-surgical option.
Treatment is typically quicker and more affordable than implants, while still offering long-term results.

What does the treatment process look like?
Getting a dental bridge is a straightforward process, usually completed in two visits. At your first appointment, we’ll assess the gap and the supporting teeth. If they’re healthy and suitable, we’ll gently shape them (if needed), then take a digital scan or mould to design your custom bridge.
You’ll usually wear a temporary bridge while your permanent one is being made. Once ready, we’ll fit the final bridge – checking the fit, comfort, and appearance carefully before bonding it into place. The result? A secure, natural-looking replacement that brings back your bite and smile.
If you’re unsure whether a bridge or implant is the best choice for you, we’ll explain everything clearly so you can decide what feels right.

FAQs
Here are some common questions we’re asked about bridges
Can a dental bridge feel just like a real tooth?
Yes – once it’s in, most patients forget it’s even there. It’s fixed in place, so there’s no movement when you eat or talk.
What if I’m not sure whether I need a bridge or an implant?
You don’t have to decide right away. We’ll guide you through both options, with honest advice based on your mouth and your goals.
How do I clean around a bridge?
It’s a little different from brushing individual teeth. We’ll show you exactly how to clean under and around it to keep your gums healthy.
Will it match the rest of my teeth?
Absolutely – we colour-match and shape everything carefully, so your bridge blends in like it’s always been there.
Is it OK to get a bridge if I’ve had one in the past?
Definitely. If you’ve had a bridge before, we’ll check the current one and see if it needs replacing or updating to a more modern option.
