A dental bridge is a fixed tooth replacement that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It’s supported by neighbouring teeth or dental implants and permanently secured in place.
Once fitted, a dental bridge functions like natural teeth and cannot be removed by you, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Dental bridges are commonly used to:
Dental bridges may be suitable if you are missing one or more teeth and are looking for a fixed, non-removable solution to restore function and appearance.
You may be suitable for a dental bridge if you:
In some cases, dental implants or dentures may be more appropriate. This may depend on bone health, the number of missing teeth, or long-term durability considerations.
During your exam, our dentists will assess this clinically and recommend the option that best protects your long-term oral health.
Dental bridges start from £775.

0% interest-free finance options are available to help spread the cost.
Dental bridges are designed to restore function, stability and appearance after tooth loss, helping you feel comfortable and confident again.
Key benefits include:
Bridges are cemented in place, meaning they don’t move or need to be removed. This provides a stable, reliable solution compared with removable dentures.
Replacing missing teeth helps you bite and chew more effectively, and can improve speech clarity where gaps were affecting pronunciation.
A bridge fills the space left by a missing tooth, reducing the risk of surrounding teeth drifting out of position over time.
Missing teeth can gradually affect facial shape. A bridge helps maintain natural support and balance within your smile.
Each bridge is carefully colour-matched and shaped to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.

Patient at Together Dental Colchester
I found this practice after having not visiting the dentist for several years due to a very bad experience. I needed a lot of work doing and I was very anxious. From day 1 I was met with unfailing patience and professionalism from everyone I came into contact with, and through this I have been able to have all the work done I needed to – all of which I have been very pleased with and no problems! From reception staff to the dental nurses and dentists I could not have been treated better and I will be eternally grateful for everything they managed to do to save my teeth! I would recommend this practice to anybody, especially those who are anxious patients! – thank you!!!

Dental bridges are often suitable for people with one or more missing teeth who want a fixed solution, but suitability is always assessed on an individual basis.
During your exam, our dentists will check the health of the supporting teeth or implants, assess the position of the gap, and discuss whether a bridge or another option would be more appropriate for you.
Most dental bridge treatments are completed over two or more visits across a few weeks, depending on your individual plan.
Typically:
Our dentists will clearly explain the expected timeline during your exam so you know what to expect before treatment begins.
Bridge preparation is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, which resolves quickly with over-the-counter pain relief.
Dental bridges start from £775.
The final cost depends on:
Our dentists will confirm the full cost during your exam, with a clear breakdown provided before treatment begins.
0% interest-free finance options are available to help spread the cost.
With proper care and maintenance, dental bridges typically last 10-15 years. Regular dental check-ups and excellent oral hygiene habits can significantly extend this timeframe.
Dental bridge treatment is generally safe and effective, but like any dental procedure, it may have some potential side effects.
Common side effects include:
Over-the-counter pain relief can help with these temporary side effects.
Modern bridges are designed to enhance your appearance by filling gaps and supporting facial structure. Our ceramic and porcelain options provide natural-looking results that blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
After dental bridge treatment, you can generally resume eating normally once the initial healing period has passed and any discomfort has subsided.
Once fully healed, you can enjoy a regular diet, but it’s advisable to avoid excessively hard or sticky foods that could damage the bridge. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups will help ensure the longevity of your dental bridge.
We’ll provide a comprehensive list of foods to avoid throughout treatment.
A crown focuses on protecting and strengthening an individual tooth, while a bridge addresses gaps in the smile by filling in missing teeth.
While crowns focus on restoring individual teeth, bridges replace missing teeth to restore function and appearance.
During your exam, our dentists will evaluate which treatment option will be suitable for you.
Dental bridges are available at all of our clinics nationwide.
