A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace a missing tooth by using the neighbouring teeth for support. Depending on the case, the bridge may be secured with crowns on the supporting teeth or bonded in place using a discreet metal or ceramic wing. Unlike removable dentures, bridges remain fixed in the mouth and do not need to be taken out for cleaning.
We assess each patient individually to determine the most appropriate treatment option based on their oral health, the position of the gap, and their long term needs.
The most suitable type of bridge depends on the number of missing teeth and the location of the gap. Following a full assessment, your dentist will recommend either a traditional fixed bridge or an adhesive (Maryland) bridge.
Traditional fixed bridge This option uses crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap to anchor the bridge securely. The replacement tooth is attached to these crowns, creating a strong and durable restoration.
Adhesive (Maryland) bridge This minimally invasive option uses a metal or ceramic wing bonded to the back of a neighbouring tooth. It usually requires little or no preparation of the supporting tooth and is a conservative alternative to a traditional bridge.
Make this treatment more affordable with our membership plan.
We assess the gap and the neighbouring teeth that will support the bridge.
The supporting teeth are prepared (or minimally prepared for an adhesive bridge) and scanned.
A temporary cover is placed if needed while the lab makes your bridge.
We fit and securely bond the finished bridge, checking your bite.
A bridge is fixed in place - unlike a denture, it doesn't come out for cleaning.
Either a traditional fixed bridge or a minimally invasive adhesive (Maryland) bridge - decided after a full assessment.
We'll show you how to use special floss or interdental brushes to keep it clean.
Many years, provided the supporting teeth and gums are kept healthy.
