Missing teeth can affect your confidence, your bite, and even your speech. At Emergency & Walk-In Dentist Cardiff, we offer high-quality dental bridges to fill the gaps left by missing teeth and give you back a complete, functional smile.

What Are Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic solution designed to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, bridging the gap left behind. Bridges not only improve the appearance of your smile but also restore your ability to chew and speak properly.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

We provide two main types of bridges to suit different needs and conditions:

1. Conventional Dental Bridge

This type uses a crown to attach the false tooth to the natural tooth on either side of the gap. It’s strong and can last around 10 years with proper care. However, it requires reshaping the natural tooth, which may slightly increase the risk of future nerve issues.

2. Adhesive (Maryland) Dental Bridge

This minimally invasive option uses a thin metal or ceramic wing to attach the false tooth to the back of the adjacent tooth. It involves little to no tooth preparation, making it a safer and more conservative choice. However, it may not be as durable and can occasionally become loose.

Am I a Suitable for a Dental Bridge?

Most patients with a healthy tooth or implant next to the gap are suitable for a bridge. During your consultation, our cosmetic dentists will take x-rays to evaluate the surrounding teeth and ensure you’re a good fit for the treatment.

If you’ve recently experienced dental trauma, infection, or an extraction, we may also recommend a tooth extraction follow-up plan before proceeding with bridgework.
