Dental Bridges (Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement)

A dental bridge is a custom, fixed restoration that fills a gap left by one or more missing teeth. It’s chosen for its lifelike appearance, everyday function and ability to help keep neighbouring teeth in their correct position.

Fast answers (good for quick scans)

Works well for: replacing one or two adjacent missing teeth with a fixed, non-removable solution.
Comfort benefits: stable bite and clearer speech; most people adjust quickly with minimal downtime.
Common uses: single-tooth gaps, side-by-side missing teeth, replacing an old or loose bridge, moving from a partial denture to a fixed option.
Suitability: requires assessment, gum health check and x-rays/scan to confirm support from neighbouring teeth or implants.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a series of connected Crowns designed to span a space where teeth are missing. The teeth on either side of the gap (or Dental Implants) support the bridge, which is permanently cemented so it looks and functions like natural teeth. People choose bridges for dependable chewing, confident smiling and an efficient treatment timeline.

Is a dental bridge right for me? (quick checklist)

I prefer a fixed option and dislike removable plates.
The gap is one to two teeth wide and the neighbours are healthy.
I want a natural smile with a relatively quick turnaround.
My gums are healthy or I’m happy to treat gum issues first.
I clench/grind and would like advice on protecting new work.
