Dental Bridges
Are you struggling with:
Missing a tooth or experiencing gaps in your smile?
Difficulty chewing or speaking properly due to missing teeth?
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a custom-made solution to replace one or more missing teeth. It “bridges” the gap by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) to the adjacent healthy teeth, restoring both appearance and function. The two most common types are:
Adhesive Bridges: A false tooth is attached to a small wing, which is then cemented onto the back of a neighbouring tooth.
Conventional Bridges: This requires preparing the adjacent teeth to fit crowns that will support the bridge and replace the missing tooth.

Preparation of Supporting Teeth
Adhesive Bridge: Little to no preparation is needed. A false tooth is crafted and cemented to a neighbouring tooth.
Conventional Bridge: The supporting teeth are prepared by slightly reducing their size to accommodate crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
Fitting the Bridge
Impressions or scans of your teeth are taken to custom-make your bridge. Once ready, it will be securely fitted, giving you a restored, natural-looking smile.

Dental Bridge FAQs
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental bridges can last between 5 to 15 years or even longer. Keeping the area clean, especially around the supporting teeth and under the false tooth, is crucial for longevity.
No, dental bridges are a fixed solution, unlike dentures. They are securely cemented to the supporting teeth, so you won’t have to worry about removing or adjusting them.
The procedure is usually pain-free. Local anaesthesia is used during the preparation phase, and discomfort is minimal. Any soreness post-treatment is generally mild and short-term.
Good oral hygiene is key to maintaining a dental bridge. This includes brushing twice a day, flossing under and around the bridge, and visiting your dentist regularly for check-ups. Using a special flossing tool or interdental brushes can help clean hard-to-reach areas.
Most people with missing teeth are suitable candidates for a dental bridge. Your dentist will evaluate the health of your supporting teeth and gums to determine if this is the right option for you.
