Why Smithy Bridge patients choose us for dental bridges
For Smithy Bridge, we are practically next door. Whether you live near Hollingworth Lake, on the newer estates or along Smithy Bridge Road, we are your closest friendly practice for check-ups, family dentistry and same-day help when something goes wrong.
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.
