Dental BridgesDental Bridges

Dental bridges have been a trusted solution for replacing missing teeth for many years.

They are designed to quite literally “bridge” the gap left by a lost tooth, restoring both function and appearance. At Westbridge Dental Practice, we provide carefully crafted bridges that blend seamlessly with your smile, helping you eat, speak, and smile with renewed confidence.

What should I expect when getting a dental bridge?

The process begins with an examination and a conversation about your expectations and treatment options. If a bridge is suitable for you, we will first prepare the teeth that will support the bridge. This often involves shaping them slightly to accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge in place.

We’ll then take an impression of your mouth so the dental laboratory can create a bridge that fits comfortably and looks natural. While your permanent bridge is being made, we may place a temporary one to protect your teeth and gums.

When your custom-made bridge is ready, you’ll return to the practice for fitting. We will check the fit, make any fine adjustments, and then bond it securely. The end result is a restoration that feels natural and completes your smile.

Why choose a dental bridge?

· Restored function: Bridges allow you to chew and speak more comfortably.

· Natural appearance: They are designed to blend in with your existing teeth for a discreet, realistic look.

· Maintains smile shape: Bridges help support your facial structure and prevent neighbouring teeth from drifting out of position.

· Durable solution: With the right care, dental bridges can last many years.

· Simple maintenance: You can care for your bridge just as you would your natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing, and check-ups.

At Westbridge Dental Practice, we understand how much of a difference replacing a missing tooth can make. Our caring team is here to guide you through the process, from the first consultation to your completed restoration.
