If you are missing a tooth, our talented dental team can help restore your smile with a bridge.

Dental bridges come in various forms and can be an affordable way of remedying problems caused by missing teeth.

What is a dental bridge?

Bridges are a restorative treatment that can replace missing teeth in a way that, where possible, can be an alternative to dental implants. A bridge is a fixed solution, that uses natural teeth to support false teeth.

What types of dental bridge are available?

Various types of dental bridge exist. If a bridge is suitable for you, your dentist will discuss this further?

  • A bonded bridge (also known as a Maryland bridge) is a bridge with metal or porcelain ‘wings’ which are bonded to the back of healthy teeth on either side of the gap and usually doesn’t require these teeth to be crowned.
  • A traditional fixed bridge is where a crown is placed on to healthy ‘anchor’ teeth on either side of the gap, with one or two artificial teeth placed in between. The anchor teeth are crowned to give extra strength.

Sometimes, a cantilever bridge may be used. This involves the bonding of a crown to one adjacent natural tooth to support the prosthesis.

What are the benefits of a dental bridge?

A dental bridge replaces lost teeth to restore your smile. In addition to improving appearance, a bridge prevents other healthy teeth from shifting position. This, in turn, helps restore your ability to speak and chew properly, while also maintaining the shape of your face.

Is a dental bridge a definitive solution?

Yes. Unlike dentures which can be removed, a dental bridge is a fixed solution to missing teeth.
