Dental Bridges in Hanwell
Fill the Gap. Fix the Bite.
No Surgery.
At Hanwell Smiles on Uxbridge Road, we offer traditional fixed bridges as a permanent alternative to implants for replacing missing teeth — particularly suitable when the teeth either side of the gap already need crowning or are heavily filled.
Fixed permanently — not removable
Unlike dentures, a bridge is cemented permanently. It functions, looks and cleans like natural teeth — except for the area beneath the false tooth, which requires special flossing
No surgical procedure required
A bridge involves the same preparation as a crown — reducing the supporting teeth under local anaesthetic — with no bone surgery or healing period
Two appointments with temporaries in between
Supporting teeth are prepared and temporary restorations placed at the first visit — the permanent bridge is fitted one to two weeks later when the laboratory has finished

Considering an Implant Instead?
If the adjacent teeth are healthy and don’t need crowning, an implant may be the better long-term choice — it preserves those teeth and the jawbone beneath.
Serving Hanwell Patients
What's Included in Your
Bridge Treatment
From first consultation to final fitting – here’s what dental bridge treatment at Hanwell Smiles involves.
Assessment and Planning
We assess the gap, the condition of the supporting teeth, and the state of the bone beneath. We discuss whether a bridge or an implant better serves your long-term interests — and we're honest when an implant is the more appropriate option.
Supporting Tooth Preparation
The teeth on either side of the gap are prepared under local anaesthetic — reducing them to accept the crown components of the bridge. Impressions or a digital scan are taken immediately after preparation.
Temporary Bridge
Temporary restorations are placed on the prepared supporting teeth while the laboratory fabricates the permanent bridge. These protect the teeth and maintain appearance for the 1 to 2 weeks between appointments.
Laboratory Bridge Fabrication
The bridge is made in a specialist dental laboratory using the impressions taken at preparation. Materials are chosen to match the shade and translucency of your natural teeth — porcelain or zirconia depending on the position.
Bridge Fitting and Cementation
The finished bridge is checked for fit, contact points, shade and bite before permanent cementation. The bite is checked in multiple positions. Any adjustments needed are made before the bridge is cemented.
Cleaning Advice and Aftercare
Cleaning beneath the false tooth requires a special technique using interdental brushes or a superfloss — we demonstrate this clearly at fitting. Cleaning beneath the pontic is essential for gum health long-term.

Traditional vs Maryland vs Implant-Supported
Understanding the Three Types of Dental Bridge
A traditional bridge (the most common type) uses full crowns on both adjacent teeth to support the false tooth between them. It’s strong, permanent, and appropriate when the supporting teeth already need crowning or are substantially filled. The trade-off is that two healthy teeth must be reduced.
Traditional bridge: strongest, most reliable — best when adjacent teeth already need crowning
Maryland bridge: minimal preparation, front teeth only — lower durability under biting forces

Why a Missing Tooth Space
Gets Worse Without Treatment
Leaving a gap after tooth loss triggers a cascade of changes in the mouth that become progressively harder and more expensive to manage the longer they’re left.
Teeth Drift Into the Gap
Adjacent teeth gradually tip toward the space. The opposing tooth over-erupts downward (or upward) into the gap. Over months and years, the gap narrows and changes shape — making bridge placement more complex and implant placement harder.
Bone Resorption
The jawbone beneath a missing tooth loses stimulation from biting forces and begins to resorb. This is gradual but cumulative — changing facial contour, destabilising adjacent teeth, and making any future implant placement require bone grafting.
Chewing Imbalance
Missing a back tooth changes how you chew — unconsciously compensating by loading remaining teeth unevenly. This accelerates wear on the overloaded teeth and, over time, can cause jaw joint discomfort and accelerated enamel loss.
Bridge vs Implant - When Is Each the Right Choice?
A bridge is generally the better option when the adjacent teeth already need crowning — the same preparation serves both purposes. When the adjacent teeth are healthy and don’t need restoration, an implant preserves those teeth and the bone beneath the gap, making it the more conservative long-term choice. We discuss both at your consultation.
