Dental Bridges in Surrey Quays

A bridge is a beautiful, fixed way to replace one or more missing teeth. At Surrey Quays Dental Practice we design bridges to look completely natural, restore your bite and protect the teeth around the gap — without the need for a denture.

01 — Overview

What is Dental Bridges?

A dental bridge fills the space left by a missing tooth using either the neighbouring teeth or dental implants as supports. The replacement tooth (the pontic) is fused to crowns that sit over the supporting teeth, creating a single fixed unit.

Modern bridges are made from high-strength ceramics for a natural look. Where appropriate we offer minimally prepared 'Maryland' bridges that bond to the back of a neighbouring tooth — a beautifully conservative option for front-tooth gaps.
