Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices that replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are securely held in place by crowns bonded to the neighbouring teeth. This creates a stable and natural-looking result — restoring both function and appearance.
At Dentistry on Gipsy Hill, we design dental bridges that feel comfortable, look like your natural teeth, and help maintain the shape of your face. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, we offer modern restorative solutions tailored to your needs.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restore your ability to chew and speak with ease
- Maintain facial shape and prevent bone loss
- Fill gaps in your smile for a more confident appearance
- Prevent surrounding teeth from shifting
- Fixed and long-lasting solution
- Designed to match your natural tooth colour and contour
We begin with a thorough examination to assess the condition of your teeth and gums. X-rays or digital scans may be taken to determine if a bridge is the right solution.
The teeth adjacent to the gap are gently reshaped to accommodate dental crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
We take precise impressions to design your custom bridge. While your final bridge is being crafted, a temporary one is fitted for comfort and protection.
Your bespoke bridge is securely cemented into place, restoring your smile and bite. We’ll check your bite and make any final adjustments for comfort.
