Bridging the gap: how a dental bridge can replace your missing teeth.

Missing teeth can affect your confidence, comfort and oral health. Fortunately, several replacement options exist, and a dental bridge is often one of the most practical and efficient choices.

‍

A bridge restores aesthetics, supports your bite and helps prevent the long-term effects of tooth loss such as shifting teeth or changes in facial structure.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge fills the space left by missing teeth using a false tooth held securely by the neighbouring natural teeth. Bridges can also be placed on top of dental implants when additional stability or support is needed.

How could a dental bridge help me?

When teeth are missing, you may experience:

‍

Self-consciousness about your smile
Difficulty chewing certain foods
Changes in speech
Facial sagging due to lack of support
Adjacent teeth drifting out of position

A bridge restores function, protects your oral structure and can often be completed more quickly than other tooth replacement treatments.

‍

A dental bridge can help by:

‍

Replacing one or multiple missing teeth
Giving you a natural, consistent smile
Allowing confident chewing and eating
Supporting your facial shape
Preventing teeth from moving out of alignment
Improving speech affected by gaps
Boosting your confidence

How are dental bridges fitted?

Your dentist will start by examining your mouth, discussing your goals and taking digital scans to confirm suitability.

‍

The procedure usually includes:

‍

Reshaping the supporting teeth on either side of the gap
Taking impressions or scans for precise construction
Fitting a temporary bridge to protect the area
Creating a bespoke bridge in our dental lab
Securing the permanent bridge with dental cement

Once fitted, your new bridge should feel comfortable and natural.

How should I look after my bridge?

A well-made and well-maintained bridge can last 10-15 years or longer.

‍
Care for your bridge just as you do your natural teeth:

‍

Brush twice a day
Clean between the teeth and under the bridge using floss or interdental brushes
Attend regular check-ups and hygiene visits

With the right care, your bridge will remain secure, functional and aesthetic for many years.

Dental bridge vs implant

Bridges are not the only option for replacing missing teeth.
If the adjacent teeth are not suitable to support a bridge, or if you prefer an alternative, you may consider a dental implant.

‍
Implants do not require support from neighbouring teeth and can offer excellent long-term stability.

‍

Your dentist will advise whether a bridge or implant best suits your situation, lifestyle and goals.

Amazing experience.

Amazing experience. Dr. Konstantina is a great dentist. She did a fantastic job with my two filings and she made me feel very comfortable. She was checking up on me very often to make sure I don’t feel any pain and she was very supportive throughout the whole process. Also the clinic was very clean and very careful with regards to covid. I felt really safe. Highly recommended!!

My experience was excellent from start to finish.

I recently visited Ace Dental for a broken tooth, and my experience was excellent from start to finish. Dr. Nassim thoroughly assessed all my teeth and performed the extraction with great care. The entire process was pain-free, and Dr. Nassim was extremely professional and reassuring throughout. I truly appreciate the quality of care I received and highly recommend this clinic.

Very happy with the results of the treatment, which overall went very smoothly.

I have been going to Ace Dental for 4 years and the service there has always been great; I definitely recommend these dentists in Wanstead and the people at the reception are always accommodating and helpful. I did the whitening there 3 years ago and more recently I did the Invisalign treatment and was followed by Dr Gian Marco who is always reassuring and provides good advice. Very happy with the results of the treatment, which overall went very smoothly.

Frequently asked questions about dental bridges in Wanstead.

What are the advantages of a bridge compared to an implant?

Bridges are typically faster to complete and do not require surgery. Implants provide greater independence for nearby teeth. We will help you decide which option suits you best.

How long does a dental bridge last?

Most bridges last 10-15 years or more with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups at our Wanstead practice.

How much does a bridge cost?

Costs vary depending on the number of teeth replaced and the material used. We provide clear pricing and flexible finance options.

Can a bridge improve my speech?

Yes. Replacing missing teeth helps restore natural speech patterns and chewing function.

Will I need crowns on the adjacent teeth?

Yes. Traditional bridges require reshaping the teeth on either side of the gap, which are then covered by crowns to support the bridge.

What if my bridge loosens or breaks?

Where can I get dental bridges near East London?

Ace Dental Wanstead provides restorative dental care for patients from Leytonstone, Walthamstow, Snaresbrook and surrounding areas.

What is a dental bridge and who might need one?

A dental bridge is basically a false tooth placed in between your existing teeth. It is held in place by supporting abutment teeth on either side of the gap your dentist will be closing. There are a number of different materials used in bridges, or pontics as they are technically called. Most people opt for porcelain bridges to blend in with their natural existing teeth. Others want something that will stand out and may choose bridges made of gold. If you think you may need dental bridges, talk to one of the dentists at Ace Dental to discuss your options.

How are bridges fitted and how many teeth can they replace?

Dental bridges are not very complicated to have fitted, but you may need to make a few visits. The first visit involves your dentist checking your teeth and taking care of any issues such as cavities. Your dentist will then reshape your teeth on either side of the gap in preparation for the bridge. These teeth will be fitted with a crown so that the bridge can be anchored down. Your dentist will then take an impression of your teeth and send it off to the lab for the bridge to be made making sure the correct shade is taken to match your existing teeth.

While your bridge is being made, your dentist may fit you with a temporary bridge to ensure the integrity of the anchor teeth is maintained. During your final visit, your dentist will check to make sure the bridge fits perfectly before cementing the bridge into place. A bridge can be used to replace a number of teeth. It is not unheard of to have two to four teeth replaced by a single bridge. Your dentist just needs to ensure that there are enough of your natural teeth to support the bridge. In cases where more teeth need to be replaced, a different treatment, such as implants, may need to be considered.

Will a bridge damage your teeth, and what should you expect after treatment?

There may be some minimal damage to your anchor teeth when you have them prepared for dental bridges. This is because the surface of your anchor teeth needs to be scraped to make the surface rough enough to more easily adhere to the bonding agents. Dental bridges are a great way to correct a gap between your teeth and replace one or two teeth. If more than a couple of teeth need to be replaced, your dentist may recommend dental implants for a more durable and long-lasting solution. Dental bridges are perfect for people who have strong teeth. However, they may not be suitable for those with weak or brittle teeth. It’s also important to have an adequate existing oral hygiene routine in place before considering dental bridges.

Once bridges have been fitted, you may need to ramp up your oral hygiene. With the right care, your dental bridges can last ages, although it is recommended that you have them checked by your dentist from time to time to ensure they stay firmly in place. If you have a dental bridge and are concerned about the level of hygiene, you should invest in an oral irrigator. This enables you to use a little bit of water pressure to flush out those food particles and keep your teeth, including bridges, as clean as possible.
