Bridges

Bridges are similar to crowns, but instead of covering a single tooth, they span multiple teeth and can be made from a variety of materials, ranging from non-precious gold alloys to high-quality porcelain and zirconia. Dental bridges are custom made to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, providing an aesthetically pleasing and functional solution for restoring a complete smile and improving bite function.

We’ve provided plenty of details below, but if you would like to find out more quickly, simply call us on 01254 202888, and we will be happy to discuss it with you over the phone.

Benefits Of Bridges

How It Works?

Dental bridges are fixed dental appliances used to replace one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. These prosthetic devices consist of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are supported by dental crowns or abutments placed on the teeth or implants on either side of the gap.

Dental bridges are custom made to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, offering an aesthetically pleasing and functional solution to restore a complete smile and improve bite function.

Lifespan Of 10-15 Years

Treatment Options

At Cherry Tree Dental Care we can offer customisation for some types of treatments:

Fixed Or Conventional Bridges

Require the capping of the two neighbouring teeth. We then fuse the false tooth onto the caps on either side.
Cantilever Bridges

Are similar, but only one neighbouring tooth is capped.
Maryland Bridges

Require little to no preparation. Instead, the false tooth is bonded onto the adjacent teeth using wings.

How long does getting a dental bridge take?

Our dental team will guide you through the process of getting a dental bridge, which typically involves five steps and can usually be completed within a few hours under local anaesthetic.

Do dental bridges hurt?

Getting a dental bridge is usually not painful, as dentists numb the area with local anesthesia before starting. Although the procedure itself is comfortable, you might notice some mild soreness, gum sensitivity, or sensitivity to hot and cold foods for a few days afterward.

How long do dental bridges last?

Dental bridges typically last between 5 and 15 years, and with proper care, many can last over a decade or even several decades. Their lifespan largely depends on oral hygiene, the type of bridge, and regular dental check ups, with implant supported bridges often lasting the longest, frequently more than 20 years.

Do you offer finance packages?

Yes, we use Tabeo Interest Free Finance, allowing you to get an interest free loan in under five minutes.

The application takes just two minutes, and you will receive a decision straight away. Applying for a loan has never been easier.

Are dental bridges safe?

Dental bridges are generally considered a safe, effective, and well established treatment for replacing missing teeth, with a high success rate when carried out by a dental professional. While they provide significant aesthetic and functional improvements, they do require the preparation of adjacent healthy teeth and can carry a risk of decay beneath the bridge if good oral hygiene is not maintained.

How can I find out if dental bridges are right for me or not?

Determining whether a dental bridge is right for you involves evaluating your current oral health, understanding your needs, and consulting a dentist. Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic devices used to fill gaps caused by one or more missing teeth by anchoring to neighbouring natural teeth or implants.
