A dental bridge is a proven, reliable solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, restoring both the appearance and function of your smile. Gaps left by missing teeth can cause surrounding teeth to shift out of alignment, lead to bite difficulties, and compromise facial structure over time. At The Dental Gallery in Ealing, dental bridges are custom-designed using high-quality porcelain or ceramic to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.
Under the expert guidance of principal dentist Dr Roham Barez, the procedure involves anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) securely between crowns placed on natural teeth on either side of the gap. The result is a durable, fixed restoration that feels comfortable, enhances chewing and speech, and restores your smile’s natural beauty.
Crafted from premium porcelain to closely match the colour, shape, and translucency of your adjacent teeth.
Re-establishes normal chewing ability and clear speech by filling uncomfortable gaps in your mouth.
Holds remaining natural teeth firmly in place, preventing them from drifting into the empty space and altering your bite.
Unlike removable dentures, a dental bridge is anchored permanently in place for total stability and peace of mind.
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (pontic) held securely in place by crowns fitted over the healthy teeth on either side of the gap.
With proper oral hygiene, regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups, a dental bridge can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, or even longer.
A dental bridge relies on adjacent natural teeth for support and requires those teeth to be prepared for crowns. A dental implant is an independent post surgically inserted directly into the jawbone without needing support from surrounding teeth.
Not at all. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic to ensure you are completely comfortable while your teeth are prepared and impressions are taken.
You care for a bridge much like natural teeth by brushing twice daily and attending routine hygiene appointments. Special bridge flossing tools or interdental brushes are used to clean underneath the false tooth to keep gums healthy.
