Dental bridges.
A bridge does exactly what its name promises: it spans the gap. A false tooth — crafted to match its neighbours — is anchored to the teeth either side, fixed in place permanently. No surgery, no removable plate, no taking anything out at night. For front teeth especially, modern adhesive bridges can fill a gap while barely touching the teeth next door.

Is it right for you?
If any of these sound familiar…
A bridge is a fixed replacement without surgery — ideal in some situations, less so in others. These are where it shines.
- A missing tooth where you want a fixed solution without implant surgery
- Neighbouring teeth that already have large fillings or crowns (a conventional bridge puts them to work)
- A young patient not yet ready for an implant — an adhesive bridge is a superb interim
- A denture you’d love to retire
Why a bridge
Fixed. Full stop.
A bridge fills the gap for good — no plate, nothing removable — and for front teeth the adhesive design can do it while barely touching the neighbours.
Fixed. Full stop.
Cemented or bonded in place. Eat, speak and laugh without a second thought — and nothing sits in a glass at night.
The gentle option for front gaps
Adhesive “Maryland” bridges bond a wing to the back of a neighbouring tooth with minimal or no drilling — often the kindest fix for a missing front tooth.
Quick to complete
Two to three visits over a few weeks. No healing periods, no surgical diary.
Stops the domino effect
Left alone, teeth drift and tilt into a gap, disrupting your bite. A bridge holds the line.
Your journey
Designed, prepared, fixed.
The right bridge design depends on the teeth around the gap. Here’s the process.
- / 03
Assessment & design
We examine the anchor teeth and choose the kindest effective design — conventional, adhesive, or (sometimes) the honest advice that an implant would serve you better.
- / 03
Preparation
Conventional: anchor teeth shaped for crowns. Adhesive: often little more than surface preparation. Impressions to the laboratory; a temporary meanwhile.

The fit
Checked for aesthetics and bite, then fixed. We’ll show you how to clean beneath it — the secret to a long-lived bridge.
The honest picture
Straight answers, before you decide.
A bridge is quick and fixed — but which design suits you (and whether an implant would serve better) deserves an honest conversation.
Conventional bridges commit the neighbours
They require the anchor teeth to be shaped for crowns — irreversible, and a real cost if those teeth are pristine. That’s exactly when we’d steer you toward an adhesive bridge or implant.
Cleaning underneath matters
The area under the false tooth needs daily attention, or the anchors can decay unseen. We’ll demonstrate the technique — it’s easy once shown.
Making it last
Fine machinery, simple care.
A bridge rewards a little daily attention underneath — and keeps the anchor teeth healthy in return.
Clean under it daily
Super-floss or interdental brushes — we’ll show you exactly how.
Keep your check-ups
So we can monitor the anchor teeth.
Treat it like fine machinery
Looked after, it will serve you well — your dentist will talk through what to expect.
Good to know
Common questions
Implant: doesn’t touch neighbouring teeth, but involves minor surgery, months, and a bigger budget. Bridge: faster and simpler, but conventional designs commit the neighbours. We’ll price both honestly side by side.
Often a few weeks; sometimes we advise letting the gum settle a little longer for the best aesthetics. An immediate temporary means you’re never left with a gap.
Yes, within limits — longer spans need stronger anchors. Beyond a certain span, implant-supported bridgework is the better engineering.
Take the first step
Bridge the gap, honestly.
Book an assessment and we’ll compare bridge designs — and implants — honestly against your gap, then set it all out in a written plan. Prefer to start from home? Send a photo via e-consultation.
