Dental Bridge

A fixed, non-removable way to bridge the gap left by one or more missing teeth.

How it works

A bridge fills the gap from a missing tooth using a false tooth anchored to the natural teeth (or implants) on either side. Unlike a denture, it's fixed in place — you don't take it out.

What's involved

  • The supporting teeth either side of the gap are prepared
  • An impression or digital scan is taken
  • The bridge is custom-made and cemented into place at a follow-up visit
Bridge or implant — which is better?

It depends on the health of the teeth either side of the gap and your budget — an implant avoids altering those teeth, while a bridge is often faster and more affordable. We'll talk through both.

How long does a bridge last?

Typically 10–15 years with good care.
