What Our Patients Say
Honest feedback from real patients at our dental clinic in hanwell.
Fill the Gap. Fix the Bite.
No Surgery.
A conventional bridge replaces a missing tooth without implant surgery. It may be a sensible choice when the teeth either side of the gap already have large fillings or need crowns, although suitability depends on their condition. If an implant or another option would suit you better, your dentist will explain why.
Unlike a denture, a bridge is cemented in place and is not designed to be removed at home. The area under the false tooth needs a little extra daily cleaning.
For a conventional bridge, the supporting teeth are prepared in a similar way to crowns, normally under local anaesthetic. There is no bone surgery or healing period.
The supporting teeth are prepared and a temporary restoration is usually fitted at the first visit. The final bridge is fitted once the laboratory has made it; your dentist will confirm the timeline.
What's Included in Your
Bridge Treatment
From assessment to final fitting, here is how fixed dental bridges in Hanwell work at our clinic.
Assessment and Planning
We examine the gap, check the supporting teeth and bone with X-rays, and discuss a bridge, an implant or a denture for your case. You receive a written plan and fee before treatment.
Supporting Tooth Preparation
For a conventional bridge, the neighbouring teeth are reshaped under local anaesthetic to hold the bridge crowns. Impressions or a digital scan are then taken.
Temporary Bridge
Where appropriate, a temporary restoration protects the prepared teeth and keeps your smile complete while the laboratory makes your final bridge.
Laboratory Bridge Fabrication
Your bridge is made by a dental laboratory details in a material chosen for its position and biting forces, such as porcelain or zirconia, and shade-matched to your teeth.
Bridge Fitting and Cementation
Your dentist checks the fit, contact points, shade and bite before securing the bridge. Any adjustments are made before it is cemented.
Cleaning Advice and Aftercare
We show you how to clean under the false tooth with interdental brushes or Superfloss, then review the bridge at your routine check-ups and hygiene visits.
Understanding the Three Types of Dental Bridge
A traditional bridge uses crowns on both neighbouring teeth to support the false tooth, known as a pontic. It may suit patients whose supporting teeth already need crowning. The trade-off is that tooth structure is removed from those teeth. Where there is a suitable tooth on one side only, your dentist may discuss a cantilever design.
Crowns on both sides. A strong option when the adjacent teeth already need crowns.
Bonded to the back of neighbouring teeth with little or no preparation. May suit selected front-tooth gaps.
Anchored to implants rather than natural teeth. May be considered for several missing teeth where bone and bite are suitable.
Why a Missing Tooth Space
Gets Worse Without Treatment
A gap left after tooth loss can lead to gradual changes that may make treatment more complex the longer it is left.
Teeth Drift Into the Gap
Neighbouring teeth may tip into the space, and the opposing tooth may over-erupt towards it. As the gap changes shape, placing a bridge or implant can become more complex.
Bone Resorption
Without a tooth root, the bone beneath the gap may gradually shrink. A bridge restores appearance and function, while an implant may also help preserve bone. Your dentist will explain what matters most in your case.
Chewing Imbalance
Missing a back tooth can shift biting load onto the remaining teeth. Over time this may contribute to wear, cracked fillings or jaw discomfort.
