Bridges help to bridge a gap in a smile. Replacing one or multiple teeth, a bridge uses the adjacent healthy teeth and one or two newly placed crowns to anchor a new prosthesis.

Bridges are just one of the tooth replacement options we offer here at The Cathedral Close Dental Practice, but they remain one of the most popular ways to restore a smile with missing teeth.
Cost-effective and relatively easy to place and look after, bridges can be a useful way to bring full function to a mouth and a happy smile to a patient’s face.
Conventional/traditional bridges
One of the most used bridges, this type of bridge uses both adjacent teeth to place the prosthetic teeth held in place by crowns.
Maryland/bonded bridges
These bridges use a metal framework that is attached to either one or both adjacent healthy teeth.
Cantilever bridges
Using just one healthy adjacent tooth, cantilever bridges are a great option when only one healthy tooth is available for support and/or on teeth towards the front of the mouth.
Bridges help to bridge a gap in a smile. Replacing one or multiple teeth, a bridge uses the adjacent healthy teeth and one or two newly placed crowns to anchor a new prosthesis.
Our team at The Cathedral Close Dental Practice will always go through all your replacement options with you at an initial consultation. Still, we always recommend replacing a missing tooth where necessary.
Missing teeth can lead to many further oral health problems, cause difficulties eating and speaking, and affect the aesthetic finish of your smile.
Most bridges can be placed over two appointments, with a few weeks’ wait in between while your personal bridge/prosthetic is made for you.
