Bridges
Restore the Gaps in Your Smile
Missing teeth create gaps that can be corrected with a Bridge – a long-term solution that will improve the appearance of your smile and also prevent other teeth from shifting out of place.
Bridges can help with speech and chewing food, resulting in a natural-looking and functional substitute for your missing teeth. Bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I require a dental bridge?
A dental bridge may be necessary if you are missing one or more teeth, which can be caused by tooth decay, gum disease, injury, or a congenital condition. Dental bridges are a common dental solution to restore the gaps in your smile, enhance speech, and improve the ability to chew food.
How is a Bridge fitted?
The fitting process depends on the individual case. If you have recently had teeth removed, you may need to wait until your gums have healed before a permanent bridge can be fitted (it can be up to 6 months or so). If this is the case, in the meantime, a temporary denture may be used.
It should be noted that it’s crucial to have reliable bone support and healthy remaining teeth for the Bridge to be successful. Our experienced dentists will discuss all the options with you and keep you informed at every step of the process. Your peace of mind is our top priority, and we will only proceed with your full assurance.
How do I take care of my bridge?
It’s essential to clean your bridge every day to prevent gum disease and bad breath. Our hygienist can provide guidance and show you the best tools to use for cleaning.
What materials are bridges made of?
Bridges are commonly made of porcelain bonded to precious metal, although non-precious metals may be used for added strength. There is also a new, strong porcelain option available. We can discuss the best material choice for you.
How much do bridges cost?
The cost will be dependent on how many teeth the bridge is replacing and the size of the teeth being replaced. Please contact our reception to book a consultation with one of our dentists for more information at 01324 562910.
