That’s why our dental bridge solutions focus on restoring full oral function while helping you feel confident about your smile once again.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It typically consists of a false tooth (pontic) anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth. We use durable materials like porcelain, metal, or a combination to ensure longevity and aesthetic appeal.

Dental Bridge Types:

Each bridge is custom-designed to suit your specific dental structure, needs, and goals. We also understand that every patient’s situation is unique. That’s why we offer thorough consultations where we assess your current oral health, take digital scans, and explain every suitable treatment option. You’ll receive a comprehensive plan tailored to your needs, ensuring you feel confident and well-informed at every step.

The Benefits of Dental Bridges

Restore Your Smile and Confidence

A dental bridge fills the gap left by missing teeth, restoring a full and natural-looking smile. The result? Improved self-esteem and confidence in everyday interactions. Dental bridge types are more than a cosmetic fix—they help distribute the force in your bite correctly by replacing missing teeth. This helps reduce stress on your remaining teeth and can even help prevent further dental issues. Over time, this kind of preventive care can save you from more complex procedures and protect your long-term oral health.

Improve Chewing and Speaking Function

Missing teeth can make chewing difficult and affect speech. Dental bridges restore full function, helping you enjoy your meals and communicate clearly again. If you’re unsure whether a dental bridge is the right solution for you, we encourage you to schedule a consultation with our friendly team. We’ll walk you through every option, including bridges, implants, or dentures, and help you understand the advantages of each. Our priority is making sure you receive the right care at the right time.

Prevent Shifting of Teeth

When a tooth is lost, adjacent teeth may begin to shift. This misalignment can lead to bite problems and jaw discomfort. Dental bridges maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth by filling the empty space.

Step-by-step process

The Dental Bridge Procedure at SIA Dental

This streamlined process highlights the many advantages of dental bridges—they restore your smile quickly, support chewing and speaking, and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting.

First Appointment: Preparation & Planning

Tooth preparation: The teeth adjacent to the missing tooth are gently reshaped to support the bridge.
Custom impressions: We take detailed impressions to create a perfectly fitting restoration.
Shade selection: The bridge is matched to the colour of your natural teeth for a flawless finish.
Temporary bridge: A temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth while the final one is being crafted.

Second Appointment: Final Placement

Temporary removal: The temporary bridge is gently removed.
Bridge placement: Your permanent bridge is cemented in place and adjusted for a perfect fit.
Final check: You’ll review the feel and appearance of the bridge before final cementation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does the Dental Bridge Procedure Take?

The dental bridge procedure typically requires two appointments over a period of 1 to 2 weeks.First Appointment (90-120 minutes): The dentist prepares the abutment teeth (the ones that will support the bridge), takes impressions, and places a temporary bridge.Second Appointment (60-90 minutes): The permanent bridge is fitted, adjusted for comfort and bite, and then cemented in place.

Are Dental Bridges Permanent?

While not permanent, the advantages of dental bridges can last 5 to 15 years or longer with good care. They are fixed in place and not removable like dentures. At SIA Dental, we offer a 3-year warranty on our dental bridges, provided you attend routine check-ups and cleans every 6–12 months.

Do Dental Bridges Require Special Maintenance?

Daily brushing and flossing, especially around and under the bridge, is essential. Using floss threaders or water flossers can help maintain hygiene and prevent decay.

Can I Eat Normally with a Dental Bridge?
