A dental bridge is a reliable way to replace one or more missing teeth, restoring both appearance and function. Leaving gaps untreated can allow neighbouring or opposing teeth to drift, which may lead to bite problems, gum disease, and jaw joint issues over time. Dental bridges are custom-made restorations designed to close these gaps, helping to maintain a balanced bite and a confident smile.
Our clinicians regularly design and place bridges with precision and care.
Each bridge is designed specifically for your mouth and bite.
We explain suitability, procedure, and costs before treatment begins.
Bridges help prevent unwanted tooth movement and bite issues.
At Panshanger Dental Practice, we help patients restore missing teeth with dental bridges that are functional, durable, and natural-looking. Our approach combines careful assessment, thoughtful planning, and clear communication, ensuring your bridge supports both your smile and your long-term oral health. Based in Panshanger, we provide restorative dentistry you can trust.
Dental bridge treatment is usually completed over a small number of appointments. Here’s what you can expect.
Clinical Assessment
Your dentist examines your mouth to assess whether a bridge is suitable and plans any preparatory work.
Tooth Preparation
The teeth either side of the gap are gently reduced under local anaesthetic to support the bridge.
Impressions or Digital Scans
Accurate impressions or scans are taken and sent to a dental laboratory to fabricate your bridge.
Temporary Restoration
Temporary crowns are placed to protect the prepared teeth while your bridge is being made.
Final Placement
The completed bridge is checked for fit, bite, and appearance before being securely cemented in place.
