Designed to replace missing teeth, dental bridges are a custom-made dental restoration solution that are fixed, durable and comfortable. A bridge is made up of a false tooth, known as a pontic, which fills the gap, held in place by the natural teeth on either side, called abutment teeth. There are several types of dental bridges including traditional, cantilever and Maryland (adhesive) bridges but they all use adjacent natural teeth or dental implants for support to securely fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Our expert bridgework dentist in Guiseley creates customised bridges, which ensure a precise fit, natural appearance and beautiful smile.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
During your initial appointment, our bridgework dentist in Guiseley assesses the abutment teeth adjacent to the gap, sometimes using X-rays, to confirm that they are healthy and strong enough to support the bridge. These teeth are then carefully prepared reshaping a small amount of enamel and, for a traditional bridge, fitting them with dental crowns to accommodate the dental bridge.
Next, precise impressions or digital scans are taken and sent to a dental laboratory, where your customised bridge is crafted with attention to detail. A temporary bridge is placed to safeguard your prepared teeth while your permanent bridge in Guiseley is being created.
Once your final bridge is ready, we ensure it fits seamlessly, feels natural and meets your expectations before we permanently secure it in place. Your comfort and satisfaction are prioritised at One Two Three Dental throughout the entire dental bridge procedure.

No, the dental bridge is permanently secured and cannot be removed. This allows for a durable dental restoration, which enables you to eat and speak comfortably.
To maintain your dental bridge, incorporate it into your daily oral care routine. Brush twice daily, ensuring you clean beneath the artificial tooth to avoid gum disease or tooth decay. Our expert dentist can guide you how to effectively keep your bridges clean.
A dental bridge in Guiseley, Leeds is most commonly used to replace one missing tooth. In specific cases, bridges may replace up to three consecutive missing teeth. During your consultation, our bridgework dentist in Guisley will explain all available tooth replacement options and help determine the best solution for your needs.
Alternatives to bridges include dental implants or partial dentures for replacing missing teeth. An implant-supported bridge is also an option when several teeth are missing in a row. Dental implants in Guiseley are highly stable, functioning like natural teeth, though they tend to be more expensive. Partial dentures offer a removable solution, but may not be as stable as dental implants or bridges.
The dental bridge procedure is not painful because local anesthesia is used to numb the area to be treated. However, some mild discomfort or sensitivity may occur after the procedure, but this is temporary, and manageable with pain medication prescribed by your bridgework dentist in Guiseley.
The cost of bridges varies depending on the number of teeth being replaced, the number of teeth being used as supports and the material choice. Bridges can be made from porcelain, ceramic, zirconia or metal-bonded materials, and this affects both the appearance and the price of your restoration.
Our experienced dentists will explore and explain the various options to you and provide a definitive cost. At One Two Three Dental, the price of dental bridges starts from £939.20.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, a dental bridge typically lasts around ten years, and often longer. Keeping the bridge and the supporting abutment teeth clean including flossing beneath the pontic helps protect them from tooth decay and gum disease, extending the life of your restoration.
The right type of bridge depends on how many teeth are missing, where the gap is, and the health of the surrounding teeth. Our bridgework dentist in Guiseley will recommend the most suitable option during your consultation.
Traditional bridge the most common type, where a pontic (false tooth) is held in place by dental crowns fitted over the abutment teeth on both sides of the gap. Ideal when you have healthy natural teeth either side.
Cantilever bridge similar to a traditional bridge, but supported by a crown on just one adjacent tooth. This suits gaps that only have a natural tooth on one side.
Maryland bridge also known as an adhesive or resin-bonded bridge, this uses a framework bonded to the backs of the neighbouring teeth rather than crowns. It requires minimal preparation of the natural teeth and is often chosen for front teeth.
Implant-supported bridge anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone instead of natural teeth. This is a stable option when several teeth are missing in a row or when the adjacent teeth aren’t suitable for support.
