What Is a Dental Bridge?
Dental bridges are bridges that are created to fill a gap that is left by one or more missing teeth. They are made up of one or more artificial teeth, which are then held in place by crowns that are attached to your natural teeth or implants.
This results in a fixed and permanent restoration, that feels natural, restoring your smile, improving bite function and speech. There is no surgery involved, as the bridge is cemented in place, becoming a permanent part of your smile.

Dental Bridge vs Dental Implant
Not sure which is the right solution? Book an assessment and your dentist will advise on the best option for your specific situation.
Types of Dental Bridge
Traditional Bridge
The traditional bridge is the most common dental bridge that is made up of two crowns, anchored on either side of the gap. It supports a false tooth.
Cantilever Bridge
Cantilever bridges are supported by one crown, on one side of the tooth only. This is used when there is only one adjacent tooth.
Maryland (Resin-bonded) Bridge
Maryland bridges, or resin-bonded bridges, use metal or porcelain wings, with minimal preparation, the wings are bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth without the need for crowns.
Implant-supported Bridge
These bridges are anchored to implants, rather than your natural teeth. It does not require any adjacent tooth preparation.

Book a clinical assessment in Whitton, Twickenham — your dentist will assess the gap and surrounding teeth and recommend the most appropriate solution.
Why Choose a Dental Bridge
Fixed, permanent feel
Dental bridges are cemented in place, making them look, feel, and function like your natural tooth. Unlike dentures, they are not removable, you don't need adhesives, and there is no movement.
No surgery required
Our traditional dental bridges are non-surgical solutions for patients who may not be suitable for implants. A bridge restores your smile without any need for surgery.
Prevents bite drift
When you lose a tooth, the adjacent teeth start to tilt into the gap over a period of time. Bridges help to fill the space immediately, helping to maintain your bite, while protecting your surrounding teeth.
Natural appearance
You cannot tell our modern porcelain and zirconia bridges from natural teeth. The artificial tooth is shade-matched and shaped to blend in naturally with your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you have a question regarding dental bridges and cannot find your answer below? Give EyeSmile a call today for personalised and expert answers and advice.
How long do dental bridges last?
Dental bridges do require proper care, along with regular maintenance appointments. When looked after correctly, you can expect your dental bridge to last between ten to fifteen years, if not more. The lifespan is determined by your supporting teeth and their health, your overall oral hygiene, along with your bite. We do recommend annual dental check-ups to monitor your bridge, along with the health of the adjacent teeth.
Is a dental bridge or implant better?
Both are excellent and reliable solutions, but they are best suited to different situations. Implants are considered the top choice, where bone is sufficient without the need to involve your adjacent teeth. Dental implants can last a lifetime. Bridges, on the other hand, are best suited when the adjacent teeth need crowns, or where you have bone loss, making you unsuitable for implants. Bridges offer a fast, non-surgical solution. The EyeSmile dentist will make recommendations based on your specific case.
Is a dental bridge painful?
Dental bridges should not be painful. We prepare the adjacent teeth under local anaesthetic, ensuring the entire process is painless. Some patients do experience some sensitivity after preparation, which is completely normal. We use a temporary bridge to protect the prepared teeth during the laboratory phase.
Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?
Definitely. When your dental bridge fits well, it helps to restore your full chewing function. We do advise you do not chew very hard foods using the bridge. At the same time, we also recommend flossing under the bridge, or using interdental brushes, to prevent decay to the adjacent teeth.
