Replace Missing Teeth with Bridges

Fill gaps and restore your smile with fixed, functional dental bridges.

about the
treatment

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the neighbouring teeth. The process involves preparing the supporting teeth, taking digital scans, and wearing a temporary bridge until the final one is ready.

Bridges provide a fixed, natural-feeling replacement that restores chewing function and prevents shifting of the surrounding teeth. They do require shaping the teeth beside the gap, which is an important consideration.

Depending on your needs, alternatives such as implants or removable partial dentures may be appropriate. After your bridge is fitted, daily cleaning around and under the bridge is essential to maintain gum and tooth health.

Key Benefits

Benefits & Why it works

  • Fills the gap to restore bite balance

Dental bridges work by securing an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth, creating a stable replacement that restores both function and appearance.

“I hate going to the dentist! Dentist Roy was gentle and did a great job on 2 fillings, I couldn’t feel my face so it was great that they said come back tomorrow for adjustment if my bite wasn’t right. Its great they said that without me having to ask. 10/10.”

“I had terrible experiences with dentists growing up, so as an adult I only go to dentists under duress. Tried 4 dentists and I finally struck gold with Dr Asa and his team! Now I have no issues going for my yearly check, I also am going through Angel aligners…”
