Dental Bridges
A bridge is a fixed way to replace missing teeth; you never take it out. It restores your bite and stops the neighbouring teeth from drifting.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a natural-looking replacement to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. It's fixed in place, so you never remove it, and it restores your bite while stopping the neighbouring teeth from drifting.
It's a fixed alternative to a denture, and often quicker than an implant.
Who it's for
One or more missing teeth with healthy teeth on either side of the gap. A bridge is a fixed alternative to a denture, and often quicker than an implant.
Frequently asked questions
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a natural-looking replacement to the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. It's fixed in place, so you never remove it, and it restores your bite while stopping the neighbouring teeth from drifting.
How long do dental bridges last?
With good care, bridges typically last 10 to 15 years or more. Keeping the supporting teeth and gums healthy is key to a long lifespan.
How do I clean under a bridge?
We'll show you how to clean beneath it using floss threaders or interdental brushes. Good cleaning here is what keeps the bridge and supporting teeth healthy.
Is getting a bridge painful?
No. The supporting teeth are numbed during preparation, so you stay comfortable. Any mild sensitivity afterwards passes quickly.
Should I get a bridge or an implant?
Both are good options. A bridge is often faster and uses neighbouring teeth for support; an implant stands alone and preserves jawbone. We'll recommend based on your teeth, bone, and budget.
Can a bridge replace more than one tooth?
Yes, a bridge can replace one or several adjacent missing teeth, provided the supporting teeth or implants are strong enough. We'll assess what's right for you.
