I was really happy with the care I received during my dental bridge treatment. The team were friendly, professional and made me feel relaxed from the moment I arrived. They explained the treatment clearly, worked efficiently and made what I thought would be a stressful experience feel simple and reassuring. I am very pleased with the final result and would definitely recommend this dental practice.

Dental bridge treatment may be right for you if:
The process of getting a dental bridge usually involves two main appointments. During your first visit, the abutment teeth are prepared by reshaping these teeth to accommodate the crowns that will support the bridge. Impressions of the teeth are taken, which serve as a model from which the bridge, pontic, and crowns will be made by a dental lab.
Your second visit will involve fitting the permanent bridge. The fit and the bite will be checked thoroughly to ensure comfort and functionality. While you may experience some sensitivity and adjustment to the feel of your new bridge, this typically diminishes as you get accustomed to the restoration.
At Elm House Dental Practice, we provide various types of dental bridges such as traditional, cantilever, and Maryland bridges, each designed to address specific dental gaps and alignment issues.
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It fills the gap using an artificial tooth, which is supported by the surrounding teeth or dental implants.
Having a dental bridge fitted should not be painful, as local anaesthetic can be used during the preparation of your teeth. You may experience some mild sensitivity or tenderness afterwards, which should settle as you adjust to your new bridge.
The treatment usually involves preparing the supporting teeth, taking impressions or digital scans, and fitting the completed bridge. Depending on your individual treatment, you may need more than one appointment.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a dental bridge can last for many years. Its lifespan will depend on factors such as the type of bridge, the health of your teeth and gums, and how well you care for it.
Yes. Once you have adjusted to your new bridge, you should be able to eat and chew normally. Your dentist may recommend taking extra care with particularly hard or sticky foods.
Yes. Dental bridges are designed to blend with your existing teeth. The replacement tooth can be matched to the colour and shape of your natural teeth to create a discreet, natural-looking smile.
You should brush your teeth twice a day and clean carefully around and underneath the bridge. Your dentist or hygienist can show you the best techniques and recommend suitable interdental cleaning products.
Although dental bridges are designed to be securely fixed in place, they can occasionally become loose or damaged. If your bridge feels loose or comes out, contact your dentist promptly so they can assess it and recommend the appropriate treatment.
