Bridges

A gap in your smile can affect more than appearance—it can alter your bite, make chewing less comfortable and even place strain on neighbouring teeth.

A dental bridge provides a fixed, natural-looking replacement, helping restore both function and confidence. At Gibside Dental, we design bridges with precision and care. A bridge is a custom-made restoration that fills the space left by one or more missing teeth. It is supported either by the natural teeth on each side of the gap or by dental implants. Crafted with modern materials, bridges blend beautifully with your existing smile.

A bridge may be suitable for you if you have:

• One or more missing teeth in a row.
• Strong neighbouring teeth are available for support.
• A desire for a fixed solution without removable dentures.
• Want to improve chewing comfort and speech.

How the treatment works

• Step 1: Consultation: We carry out a thorough assessment with digital scans and photographs, explaining your options clearly and outlining costs.
• Step 2: Tooth preparation: If crowns are needed for support, the neighbouring teeth are carefully shaped. For adhesive or implant bridges, preparation of the natural tooth is minimal.
• Step 3: Design and creation: Your bridge is crafted to the correct shade, size and fit, using advanced techniques for accuracy. Our restorative team is made up of master dental technicians, who work closely with our dentists to craft beautiful, durable bridges that don’t let you down.
• Step 4: Fitting: We check comfort, bite and appearance before securing the bridge in place. Subtle adjustments are made so your new smile feels natural from the start.
