Dental bridges
Missing teeth can affect more than just your appearance, they can impact your ability to chew, speak and feel confident in your smile. At Stoke Bishop Dental Centre, we offer expertly crafted dental bridges that look, feel and function just like your natural teeth.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by "bridging" the gap between two healthy teeth or implants.
The artificial tooth (or teeth) is held in place by dental crowns attached to the neighbouring natural teeth or implants, creating a strong and natural-looking solution.
What to expect from treatment
At Stoke Bishop Dental Centre, we provide a comfortable, step-by-step experience for patients receiving a dental bridge:
1. Consultation & assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. Our dentist will assess your oral health and suitability for a bridge, discussing your options in detail.
2. Impressions or digital scans
We’ll take precise impressions or digital scans of your teeth to design a bridge that fits perfectly with your bite and smile. These are sent to an experienced off-site dental laboratory for custom fabrication.
3. Bridge fitting appointment
Once your bridge is ready (usually in a couple of weeks), you’ll return to have it carefully fitted. We’ll check the fit and make any necessary minor adjustments to ensure maximum comfort and functionality.
