Restore your smile with a Dental BridgeIf you’re looking to restore missing teeth with a natural-looking, long-lasting solution, a dental bridge could be the answer. At West London Dental Centre, we offer custom-made tooth bridges that blend seamlessly with your smile – helping you speak, eat, and smile with renewed confidence.
Restoring missing teeth with long-lasting tooth bridges
When a tooth is lost due to injury, decay, or extraction, the gap it leaves behind can affect both your appearance and overall oral health. A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It quite literally “bridges” the gap using artificial teeth (called pontics), which are supported by either neighbouring teeth or dental implants.
We offer several types of tooth bridges at our practice:
- Traditional bridges – secured with crowns on the teeth either side of the gap
- Maryland bridges – held in place with a metal or porcelain wing bonded to a neighbouring tooth
- Implant-supported bridges – fixed onto dental implants for maximum strength and longevity
Before fitting your bridge, we’ll place a temporary crown to protect the prepared tooth and maintain your bite.
Maintaining your dental bridge for long-term oral health
Looking after your dental bridge is essential to ensure it lasts as long as possible. With the right care, your bridge can remain strong and natural-looking for over a decade.
Here are some simple maintenance tips:
- Brush twice daily using fluoride toothpaste
- Clean underneath the bridge with interdental brushes or super floss
- Attend regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments
- Avoid biting hard foods or ice, especially with temporary crowns
- Let us know as soon as you start feeling any discomfort or movement with your bridge
Our dental team in Chiswick will advise you on how to look after your specific bridge for optimal results and longevity.
