Why Walsden patients choose us for dental bridges
Walsden sits right at the top of the valley, and for most of the village we are the closest dentist around. It is a straightforward trip over Summit to see us for check-ups, emergency appointments and everything in between.
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?

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.
