Dental Bridges in Gardens Dental Centre
Say goodbye to missing teeth!
Dental Bridges—an Overview
There is more than one way of losing natural teeth—gum infection, extensive tooth decay, an accident or just age. The biggest challenge is how to replace lost teeth to be able to chew better and speak and smile confidently. Dental bridges offer an easy and affordable tooth replacement solution. Dental bridges in Gardens Dental Centre offers custom-designed, natural-looking dental bridges to help your smile feel its best.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are a series of two or more dental crowns used to replace gaps caused by lost teeth. They are securely fastened in the mouth using dental adhesives. Pontics, or artificial teeth, fill the gaps left by missing teeth, while retainers protect the supporting anchor teeth. Abutments refer to the natural teeth that support a dental bridge. Whether you are missing one or more teeth, dental bridges are a long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing, and cost-effective alternative.
Do You Need Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are the best option when:
- One or more of your teeth are missing.
- You want to bite, tear, and chew food efficiently.
- You want to avoid bone loss in the areas where teeth are missing, as well as biting concerns.
- Do you have gaps in your front teeth and want to restore your smile?
- You’re seeking an inexpensive solution.
Types of Dental Bridges
We offer different types of dental bridges at Smile 4 U:
Traditional Bridges: A common type of dental bridge in which an artificial tooth (the pontic) is connected to dental crowns that are fastened to nearby natural teeth for support. They are useful for restoring one or more lost teeth.
Cantilever Bridges: Used when just one natural tooth remains to support the gap caused by the missing tooth. Dental bridges on front teeth can be cantilevered if necessary.
Maryland bonded bridges: They are a conservative solution that uses a metal framework to anchor to the supporting teeth and do not require several dental crowns. They are perfect for missing front teeth in smile makeovers.
We regularly provide consultations and dental bridges treatments to patients from Dulwich, Peckham, Dulwich Village, Brixton, Newlands, and Hono Oak.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
There are several advantages of dental bridges:
Functionality and digestive health
Dental bridges help you eat and chew fibrous meals with ease.
Maintain jaw health and harmony
They prevent the adjacent teeth from tipping and tilting following tooth loss.
Boosts confidence
A custom-designed dental bridge gives you the courage to laugh and speak freely.
Ensures a youthful look
Preserves your gums, cheek muscles, and face structure, making you look younger.
Improves the quality of life
They promote intestinal health, overall wellness, and speaking confidence.
Cost-efficient
They are a more affordable approach to restoring several missing teeth than dental implants.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding the treatment below:
Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?
Yes! Dental bridges restore the whole chewing capacity. To protect your bridge, avoid eating hard or sticky foods at first.
How do I care for my dental bridge?
Brush and floss twice a day, then use a water flosser to clean around the bridge. Regular dental examinations will ensure its long-term success.
Can a dental bridge be repaired if it’s damaged?
Minor damage is occasionally repairable. However, if the dental bridge is severely damaged, worn out, or fractured, it must be replaced. If you have any troubles, please contact us at Smile 4 U.
The Treatment Process
Every patient’s experience is unique, but this is what you can expect when you start treatment with the Smile 4 U Dental Practice.
Consultation
We assess your oral health, discuss treatment expectations, explain available dental bridges, and recommend the best solution for your unique needs, resulting in a personalised treatment plan.
Treatment
We always numb your gums and teeth before changing the supporting teeth. We make moulds or digital scans of your teeth and attach a temporary bridge while the dental lab fabricates the bridge.
Fixing bridges
After your permanent bridge is finished, we evaluate it for the greatest fit, comfort, and beauty. It is then securely attached to the teeth, restoring your smile and functionality.
