Bridges
Dental care to make you smile
Start your journey today
Dental bridges use the adjacent teeth as an anchor to support a missing tooth.
Bridges can be the ideal option to restore function and improve aesthetics when you have a gap. They are a fixed option and a great alternative to a gap or denture.
We can discuss the option of an implant if the other teeth are unsuitable to support a bridge.
Your dentist will discuss all the options so you can make the best choice for your mouth.
Dental bridges may be the best option for a missing tooth but alternative options may include implants and dentures.
This will depend on which tooth is missing and how your teeth bite together. Typically, we will advise replacement of a missing tooth to prevent future problems. Often remaining teeth can drift into the gap or food can be trapped. Missing teeth can also affect your speech and function (the way you chew and eat). Ask our advice today!
Typically, bridges will be made by our dedicated lab technicians in porcelain. We may also use a metal component when designing your bridge. You will be aware of the material and the aesthetic finish of the bridge prior to its creation.

Dental Implants
We understand a missing tooth or a gap in your smile can have a big impact on your confidence, appearance and ability to eat. Unlike traditional dentures and bridges, dental implants can offer a permanent and comfortable solution. Dental implants can be used to replace single or multiple teeth. They will improve both the function and aesthetics of your dentition. A titanium screw is used to replace the root of the tooth and a porcelain crown is attached on top to replicate a natural tooth. Our dentists will undertake a full examination to ensure dental implants are the right choice for you. Dental care to make you smile!

All-On-4 Dental implants
Complex treatment, such as All-On-4 or All-On-6 implants, requires precise planning so each individual plan will be tailored just for you. Due to the nature of this treatment, a full assessment must be undertaken before an accurate cost can be given. Average prices are around £12,500 but will vary depending on the complexity.

Dentures
Traditionally, dentures are made of plastic or have a metal base and sit over the gums too replace missing teeth. They are generally removable and can be made as a partial or full set. If you are hoping for a fixed option please consider bridges, dental implants or all-on-4 implants as an option. Missing teeth can affect your confidence, speech and function (the way you chew and eat) so dentures may be the perfect option for you. Ask our advice and improve your smile today!
