- Custom shade-matched to your natural teeth
- Restores bite, speech, and facial support
THE BASICS
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a false tooth (or teeth), known as a pontic, held permanently in place by crowns fitted to the teeth either side of the gap — or by dental implants.
Unlike a denture, a bridge is fixed in your mouth and isn’t removed for cleaning, functioning much like your natural teeth once fitted.
Unlike a Denture
A bridge is fixed permanently in place — it doesn't move, slip, or need to be taken out.
Unlike an Implant
No surgery required, and treatment is often completed faster.
Restores Function
Helps protect your bite alignment and makes eating and speaking easier.
YOUR OPTIONS
Types of Bridge
Traditional Fixed Bridge
Supported by crowns fitted to the natural teeth either side of the gap.
Resin-Bonded Bridge
A more conservative option, bonded to the back of neighbouring teeth with minimal preparation.
Implant-Supported Bridge
Anchored to dental implants rather than natural teeth — ideal when several teeth are missing.

IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
Is a Bridge Right for You?
- You're missing one or more teeth
- You want a fixed, non-removable replacement
- Your adjacent teeth are healthy enough to support a bridge, or you have implants in place
- You want to protect your bite and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting
- You'd prefer a faster process than implant treatment
Not sure whether a bridge or implant is right for you?
Both are fixed, long-term solutions — book a consultation and we’ll assess your teeth and talk through which suits your case.
THE PROCESS
Your Bridge Journey
Consultation & Assessment
We assess the gap, your surrounding teeth, and discuss the right type of bridge for you.
Preparing Support Teeth
If needed, the supporting teeth are gently prepared to hold the bridge securely.
Impressions & Temporary Bridge
An impression is taken and a temporary bridge fitted while your custom bridge is made.
Fitting Your Bridge
Your finished bridge is checked for fit and bite, then permanently fitted.
Aftercare
Guidance on cleaning around and under your bridge to keep it — and your supporting teeth — healthy.
