Bridges
Closing the gap, fixed in place
A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a fixed restoration anchored to the natural teeth on either side of the space.
About the treatment
A fixed answer to a missing tooth
A bridge spans a gap. The teeth either side are prepared to take crowns, and the replacement tooth is joined between them as a single unit that is cemented permanently in place. Nothing comes out at night.
Bridges suit gaps with sound, well-supported teeth on both sides. Where those neighbouring teeth are healthy and untouched, an implant is often the more conservative choice because it leaves them alone — we will lay out both options honestly rather than defaulting to one.
- Fixed permanently — nothing to remove
- Restores chewing across the gap
- Stops neighbouring teeth drifting into the space
- Compared honestly against an implant before you decide

Questions & answers
Everything you need to know
Still unsure about bridges? Our team is always happy to talk it through and answer anything that is on your mind.
A bridge is supported by the teeth either side, which must be prepared for crowns. An implant is supported by the jawbone and leaves the neighbouring teeth untouched. Which suits you depends on the state of those teeth and of the bone.
