5.0
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace missing teeth by bridging the gap between healthy teeth. It helps restore the appearance, alignment and function of your smile, while preventing surrounding teeth from shifting.
Dental bridges are a commonly recommended tooth replacement option for patients who want a stable, non-removable solution. Our dental bridges are designed to blend with your natural teeth while supporting long-term oral health and function, with a free 20-minute consultation available to discuss your options.
Following a clinical assessment, we may recommend a dental bridge as a missing tooth replacement if you:
We assess your oral health, gum condition and supporting teeth to determine if a bridge is the most appropriate restorative treatment.
A dental bridge is a fixed tooth replacement, meaning it is securely fitted and not removable. Dentures are removable appliances used to replace multiple missing teeth.
We may recommend a dental bridge where suitable supporting teeth are present, and a patient prefers a more stable, non-removable solution. The most appropriate option will depend on your oral health, number of missing teeth and treatment goals, which we assess during your consultation.
Your treatment begins with a clinical assessment, and where required dental X-rays, to evaluate the missing tooth and supporting teeth. We then prepare the area and take impressions to create a custom-made dental bridge.
Once ready, the bridge is carefully fitted and adjusted to ensure a secure, comfortable bite and natural appearance. We explain each stage so you know what to expect throughout your treatment.
We provide different types of dental bridges across our clinics, and after assessing your teeth and gums, we recommend the option best suited to your oral health, bite and overall treatment needs.
A durable fixed dental bridge designed for strength, suitable for back teeth or areas with higher chewing forces, while maintaining a natural tooth-coloured finish.
A highly aesthetic tooth replacement option, suitable for front teeth or visible areas, offering a natural appearance and improved translucency.
A minimally invasive dental bridge, typically used to replace a single missing tooth. Suitable where adjacent teeth are healthy, as it preserves natural tooth structure.
We carry out a dental examination and may take dental X-rays where required to assess the missing tooth area and supporting structures.
We provide a personalised treatment plan, discussing suitable tooth replacement options and confirming whether a bridge is appropriate.
Your dental bridge is custom-made and fitted for a secure, stable bite and natural appearance. We provide aftercare guidance to support long-term oral health.
After your dental bridge is fitted, it may take a short time to adjust to the new restoration. Your bridge is designed to feel secure and comfortable, allowing you to eat and speak normally once you have adapted.
We will provide guidance on oral hygiene and aftercare, including how to clean around the bridge, and arrange follow-up if needed to ensure it continues to support your oral health and function.

The cost of a dental bridge depends on the type of bridge and the number of units required, as each replacement tooth and supporting structure is priced individually. Following your clinical assessment, we will provide a clear treatment plan with confirmed costs based on your needs.
Our dental bridge fees include:
The total cost will depend on the number of teeth being replaced, supporting teeth involved and overall treatment complexity. We will explain all options clearly so you can make an informed decision about your tooth replacement treatment.
Dental bridge treatment usually requires two or more appointments. The first visit involves preparing the supporting teeth and taking impressions, followed by fitting your custom-made dental bridge at a later appointment.
We will explain your treatment plan and timeline clearly during your consultation.
Dental bridge treatment is typically carried out using local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some patients may experience mild sensitivity or discomfort after treatment, which usually settles as the mouth adjusts.
We focus on providing comfortable, supportive care throughout your treatment.
