Dental Bridge

A bridge is a custom made restoration that may be recommended by your dentist if you are missing one or more teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth may cause remaining teeth to shift or rotate into the empty spaces, which may result in a bad bite. The imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and temperomandibular joint disorders.

A bridge would span the space where the teeth are missing. Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth surrounding the empty space and these teeth serve as anchors for the bridge. As with crowns, you have a choice of materials for bridges.

What material is the bridge made from?

There are many different options for the materials used when making bridges. Porcelain bridges are the most popular as they contain no metal, giving cosmetic advantages over the traditional metal or gold crown.

Bridges start from £894.00 per tooth unit

Frequently Asked Questions

What are bridges?

Bridges are custom-made false teeth designed to fill gaps left by tooth loss. Bridges are affixed to the surrounding teeth to hold the bridge in place. Fitting a bridge preserves the integrity of the bite function.

What are bridges made from?

Much like crowns, which cap broken or damaged teeth, bridges can be produced from a variety of materials. Generally, bridges are made from porcelain and contain no metal. They appear natural and blend in with the surrounding natural teeth.

Why could bridges be right for me?

Bridges can be a great option for those with gaps in their teeth. They can easily restore the look of your smile, and have a functional benefit as they prevent issues associated with tooth loss such as gum disease and joint disorders.

How much do bridges cost?

Prices for bridges begin at £800.00 per tooth. If you are interested in bridges, please call us to arrange a consultation.

What are the benefits of bridges?

The benefits of having a bridge fitted are twofold. Bridges fill the gaps between teeth, producing a cosmetic improvement. They also have a functional benefit; bridging any gaps in your smile will also prevent the surrounding teeth shifting and rotating into the empty spaces, which can cause serious dental issues.
