Patient journey

1. Your consultation

The dentist will carefully examine your oral health, discuss your options, and create a personalised treatment plan.

Patient journey

2. Your treatment

The process begins with your dentist preparing the adjacent teeth to support the bridge. Next, a precise impression of your mouth is taken. While your custom bridge is crafted, you’ll wear a temporary one. In just a few weeks, your permanent bridge will be expertly placed.

3. Aftercare

Stick to soft foods, avoid chewing directly on the bridge, and gently clean around it with a soft-bristled brush. Don’t forget to rinse with warm salt water to soothe any discomfort.

Bridges FAQs

  • These custom-made prosthetics literally bridge the gap created by missing teeth, using adjacent natural teeth or implants as anchors. The process involves crafting artificial teeth, which are securely attached to crowns placed on the supporting teeth. For tooth loss patients, bridges provide a durable, natural-looking option that can improve speech and chewing ability.

  • To keep your bridge and remaining teeth for as long as possible, clean your bridge as you would your natural teeth, paying extra attention to the area where the bridge meets your gums. Use floss to clean under and around the bridge and avoid sticky foods. Regular check-ups will also help your dentist detect any problems.

  • The fitting itself only takes about an hour, but prior to that you’ll need to allow 2-3 weeks for your custom bridge to be crafted from the impressions of your mouth that your dentist will have made during your first visit.

  • A well-maintained dental bridge can last for 10 to 15 years.

  • Dental bridges can be an excellent solution for those with one or more missing teeth. You might need a bridge if you have gaps in your smile that affect your ability to eat, speak, or feel confident. These custom-made prosthetics not only restore your smile but also prevent remaining teeth from shifting.

  • Our bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable. The high-quality porcelain or ceramic we use, closely mimic the colour, translucency, and sheen of real teeth.

“Fully informed!”

“They were so skilful, kind and supportive and made sure that I was fully informed about every step of all the procedures and after care required both verbally and in writing – even down to the timing of the next dose of ibuprofen (only really needed for the facial swelling as I had no pain). I would highly recommend this practice to anyone.”
