If you’re considering a dental bridge or want expert advice on your tooth-replacement options, book a consultation with our friendly team today.

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by literally “bridging the gap” in your smile. It is made up of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are securely supported by the neighbouring natural teeth or dental implants.

There are several types of bridges, but most work by placing custom-made crowns on the teeth beside the gap. These crowns anchor the bridge in place, keeping the replacement tooth stable so you can bite, chew, and smile with confidence.

Because bridges are designed to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, they blend seamlessly into your smile for a natural appearance.

A well-made dental bridge not only restores the look of your smile but also prevents surrounding teeth from shifting out of place, supports proper bite alignment, and helps maintain the shape of your face.

We offer several types depending on your needs:

Traditional Bridges

Use crowns on the surrounding teeth to anchor the replacement tooth.

Cantilever Bridges

Used when only one natural tooth is available next to the gap.

Maryland Bridges

A more conservative option using metal or porcelain “wings” attached to the back of nearby teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Ideal for multiple missing teeth, supported by dental implants for increased strength and longevity.

• Restores your smile’s appearance
• Improves chewing and speaking

• Maintains proper facial shape
• Provides a long-lasting and stable tooth replacement option

You may be suitable for a dental bridge if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth
• Have healthy teeth or implants to anchor the bridge
• Want a fixed, non-removable replacement option
• Prefer a faster solution than dental implants
