Dental bridges are custom-made restorations designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored in place by dental crowns or other supportive structures. Bridges bridge the gap created by missing teeth, improving both function and aesthetics.
We understand the impact of missing teeth on your oral health and self-confidence.
Dental bridges are an effective and reliable solution to restore your smile and maintain your overall dental well-being. Our professional team of dentists is dedicated to providing you with the highest quality care, ensuring you can smile, eat, and speak confidently.
Types of Dental Bridges
- Traditional Dental Bridges: Traditional bridges consist of pontics held in place by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth. They are the most common type of dental bridge and are suitable when the adjacent teeth are strong and healthy.
- Cantilever Bridges: Cantilever bridges are used when there is only one adjacent tooth to support the bridge. This design is less common and typically used when there are no healthy teeth on one side of the gap.
- Maryland Bonded Bridges: Maryland bridges are a conservative option that uses a metal or porcelain framework with wings that attach to the back of the adjacent teeth. They do not require extensive enamel removal from the adjacent teeth.
- Implant Bridges: Implant bridges are secured in place by dental implants, providing a stable and long-lasting solution for multiple missing teeth. This type of bridge is highly recommended when several adjacent teeth are missing.
The Bridge Placement Procedure
The process of getting a dental bridge typically involves the following steps:
- Initial Consultation: Our professional dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your options, and create a personalised treatment plan.
- Tooth Preparation: If needed, the adjacent teeth supporting the bridge are prepared by removing a thin layer of enamel.
- Impressions: We take precise digital impressions of your teeth to ensure a custom-fit bridge.
- Temporary Bridge: While your permanent bridge is being fabricated at a dental lab, a temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth and maintain your appearance.
- Bridge Placement: Once your custom bridge is ready, it is securely placed and adjusted for comfort and function.
Benefits of Dental Bridges

The practice got a makeover. Priyesh did not. Or did he? 👀😂
Meet Priyesh, who’s somehow getting his own appreciation post when he isn’t even the dentist. His wife is.
Whether you know him through his aesthetics business here at the practice or have simply been subjected to his jokes, you’ll know he’s a huge part of what makes this place feel like us.
Behind the banter is someone who puts his heart into the practice, keeps things running and always makes time for the people walking through the door.
So we’ll let him off for leaving the dentistry to his wife. He’s got his own talents and certainly isn’t short of personality.
New surroundings. Same familiar faces. Priyesh very much included.
Go on then, show him some love. We’ll try not to let it go to his head 😂👇

Dracula is having a very bad week.
He’s lost a fang. 🧛🏻♂️
Once his gum health is stable, we can explore the right way to replace it. Depending on the individual patient, a dental implant may be one possible option for replacing a missing tooth.
The goal isn’t to change who he is. It’s to restore his smile, protect his oral health and return him to full biting duties.
Should we replace the fang or embrace the new look? Tell us below.
Next week: Dracula receives his complete smile plan.
