How a bridge works and when it is fitted

A bridge consists of supporting crowns and an artificial tooth between them. The artificial tooth sits above the gum where the tooth is missing. Most often a bridge is made after losing one tooth. Such a bridge for one tooth has three units.

When a dental bridge is suitable

one tooth or several teeth in a row are missing

you want a fixed restoration instead of a removable denture

the neighbouring teeth are strong and can act as supports

chewing and the look of your smile need to be restored

the neighbouring teeth are already damaged or have old crowns

an implant does not suit you or is not planned

When another solution is better

If the neighbouring teeth are healthy, the doctor compares a bridge with an implant, which does not require grinding them down.

The decision depends on the neighbouring teeth and the bone, the doctor makes it after an examination and an X-ray.

How a bridge is fitted

Examination and X-ray

The doctor examines the supporting teeth and takes an X-ray to plan the bridge.

Shaping the supporting teeth

The supporting teeth are shaped under anaesthesia so that the bridge crowns fit them precisely.

3D impressions and a temporary restoration

The doctor takes digital 3D impressions. A temporary restoration is placed while the bridge is made.

Fixing the bridge

The finished bridge is fixed on the supporting teeth. The doctor checks your bite and comfort.

What a bridge is made of

Bridges are made of metal ceramic or zirconia. A metal ceramic bridge is strong and suits the chewing area.

In the smile zone zirconia is chosen more often: it contains no metal, so no dark line shows at the gum.

What happens if a missing tooth is not replaced

the neighbouring teeth gradually shift into the gap

chewing suffers and the load moves to other teeth

treatment becomes more complex and costly over time

the bone at the site of the lost tooth shrinks over time

Dental bridge FAQ

Does it hurt to have a bridge fitted?

No. The supporting teeth are shaped under anaesthesia. Mild discomfort after the preparation passes quickly.

How long does a bridge last?

With good hygiene and regular check-ups, many years. It is important to clean the space under the bridge with an interdental brush or special floss.

Which is better: a bridge or an implant?

It depends on the neighbouring teeth and the bone. An implant does not affect healthy teeth, a bridge needs the supporting teeth to be shaped. The doctor compares both options at the consultation.

Want to restore your smile without a removable denture?

Book a consultation and the doctor will suggest a suitable bridge or implant option.
