Why Milnrow patients choose us for dental bridges
Milnrow residents have an easy run to us past Hollingworth Lake, and the M62 at junction 21 makes us handy for anyone who commutes. We see people from across Milnrow, from Kiln Lane to Newhey Road, for everything from routine check-ups to implants and straightening.
When a tooth is missing, the teeth around it can drift, your bite can change and you are more at risk of further tooth loss and infection. That is why it is worth replacing missing teeth sooner rather than later.
A dental bridge is a false tooth held in place by the teeth either side of the gap. Unlike dentures, bridges are not removable, so there is no taking them out to clean. They are quicker and less invasive than some other ways of replacing teeth, and look and feel like the real thing.

Types of dental bridge
Traditional
The false tooth is attached to crowns on the teeth either side of the gap. Usually porcelain fused to metal, or all-ceramic, for a strong, fully functional smile.
Cantilever
Used when there are healthy teeth on only one side of the gap. Best for teeth that do not take much chewing force, like front teeth.
Maryland bonded
A false tooth with small wings bonded to the backs of neighbouring teeth with resin. Ideal when those teeth are healthy and the bite is light.

How much does a bridge cost?
It depends on the type of bridge and how many teeth it involves. A traditional bridge is priced per unit, in line with our crowns at £650 per unit. We will give you a written estimate after your assessment.
Is a bridge better than an implant?
Each has advantages. A bridge is quicker and does not need surgery, but it relies on neighbouring teeth. An implant stands alone and does not affect other teeth. We will help you weigh it up.
How do I clean under a bridge?
We will show you how to use floss threaders or small interdental brushes to clean under the false tooth. It only takes a minute once you are used to it.
