Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between healthy teeth. At Weston Dentistry, our bridges are crafted to replace one or more missing teeth and support oral function. Supported by neighbouring teeth or implants, bridges improve chewing, speech, and bite alignment while maintaining facial structure. Designed to match the appearance of your surrounding teeth, bridges are a fixed tooth replacement option.

Why Dental Bridges Matter

Missing teeth affect more than your appearance—they can impact chewing, speech, bite alignment, and overall oral health. Bridges help patients:

Replace Missing Teeth

Fill gaps for a complete, natural-looking smile.

Restore Function

Support chewing and speaking function.

Prevent Teeth from Shifting

Maintain proper alignment and bite stability.

Replace Missing Teeth

Restore gaps as part of a fixed tooth replacement treatment.

Fixed Tooth Replacement

Bridges are secured in place and do not need to be removed for cleaning.

For patients missing one or more teeth, early intervention with a bridge helps protect surrounding teeth and maintain long-term oral health.

What to Expect

  • Consultation

    Your dentist evaluates the gap, supporting teeth, and suitability of a bridge.

  • Preparation

    Adjacent teeth are gently reshaped to accommodate the bridge.

  • Impressions & Shade Selection

    Accurate impressions and shade selection help support the fit and appearance of the bridge.

  • Bridge Fabrication

    The custom bridge is crafted in a dental laboratory based on your treatment requirements.

  • Fitting & Bonding

    The bridge is securely placed, with adjustments for bite alignment and comfort.

  • Final Review

    Your dentist checks the fit, bite and appearance of the bridge and makes any necessary adjustments.

Restore Balance and Confidence

Dental bridges are a dependable solution for replacing missing teeth, restoring bite function, and maintaining a natural, confident smile. With proper care, they help you eat, speak, and smile comfortably for years to come.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

Maintain Oral Hygiene

Brush twice daily and floss carefully around and under the bridge.

Use Specialised Tools

Floss threaders or interdental brushes help clean beneath the bridge effectively.

Avoid Hard Foods

Refrain from chewing ice or very hard foods to protect the restoration.

Regular Check-Ups

Routine visits ensure the bridge and supporting teeth stay healthy and stable.

Monitor Changes

Contact your dentist if you notice looseness, discomfort, or gum irritation.
