Dental Bridges

You are here:

Improve your smile
and your confidence

Missing teeth can really affect your appearance and self-confidence. You might want to have them replaced for aesthetic reasons, or you might find that your bite is affected

Although dental implants are the best option to replace missing teeth, they are not always appropriate. If you still want a fixed option then dental bridges may be the next best alternative.

What are bridges?

A dental bridge is a false tooth or teeth fixed into place permanently by securing them onto the adjacent teeth.

There are two main types of dental bridges:

Conventional bridge
This is where teeth on either side of the gap are crowned, and the teeth are all joined together.
The good thing about this option is that these types of bridges generally last for a long time and they are fixed in place. You will need to have some work carried out on the adjacent teeth, which will often need grinding down in order secure the bridge. If the teeth on either side are crowned already, then this option may be favourable.
Adhesive bridge
This is when the false tooth is stuck onto one or two of the adjacent teeth. The great thing about this option is that it is a simple procedure, which means that the teeth don’t need grinding down as they do with a conventional bridge. This type of bridge generally won’t last as long and it needs to be used in the right circumstances – it will work well on front teeth, but not as well on back teeth due to increased biting pressure.

If you are interested in dental bridges it is always best to come in for a full examination so we can discuss all your options. We will then formulate a treatment plan that best suits your needs.

5 stars for making my teeth look a mess! I recently had a bridge fitted at this dental practice which doesn't match the colour of my teeth at all (this is also after spending money on whitening at this practice). After this mess up, no apology was given and was told that I could spend even more money to get it redone. I advise that customers go elsewhere. Don't waste your time or money here. Appalling service!!!

Fantastic Dentist all around as Mish has been great with all the work he has done for me personally as I have been visiting GDC for sometime and they have been extremely helpful, understating and most of all caring. I was able to speak with Dr Mish about all the options for my dental treatment and received everything I needed to make up my mind if I wanted to go through the treatment. On one occasion I visited the surgery for the hygienist at the same time I had lots of pain and Dr Mish didn’t think twice to take me on the same day without an appointment and managed to remove the bridge that was causing me the pain and gave me antibiotics. Thank you again Dr Miss, Lukasz, Aziz and the team at GDC keep up the good work. I highly recommend GDC for anyone who is experiencing some dental pain/issues as this is the right place to visit.

I moved to Gentle Dental Care about 18 months ago to be within walking distance from my home rather than driving to my previous dentist in Purley. I saw Dr Mish several times since then for periodontal treatment for my severe gum disease, teeth extraction, temporary denture, and implants with bone-grafting. Finally I had a bridge of new five teeth on the implants installed by Dr Bardia last month. I now feel I have real teeth - no longer troublesome when food went under my denture and far less food struck between teeth, no more removing and cleaning the denture nightly and no worrying about forgetting to put on my denture when I go out. It is very convenient. I am pleased with the treatments which were painless. I never had any pain when numbness disappeared so no need for any pain killer. A big thank you to Dr Mish, Dr Bardia and their nurses. I am also well looked after by my hygienist Petra each quarter.

I just wanted to thank Dr Kam, Dr Mish and the whole team, including Nina, Lina and all of the nursing team at the Gentle Dental care for my care. My journey started when I came to the practice many years ago for cosmetic dentistry and implants. I was very happy with them and loved my new smile, until I suffered a trauma to my front tooth resulting in an infection and a cyst at the beginning of the 1st lockdown. As soon as the government allowed dental practises to open Dr Kam and Dr Mish Sachdev ( periodontist specialist in gum care ) set about the reparative and restoration work. This involved deep cleaning and bone graft to replace and rebuild the lost bone ( due to infection) and gum/tissue graft. Their collective expertise and care meant a lot to me. They do things to the highest standard, are heavily qualified and I would say affordable for the skills /work they provide. They're with you every step of the way including out of hours if you need them. The surgery has a vast amount of technology and equipment to give a state of the art service. They also went through all the options with me including the revolutionary PRGF platelet treatment. I had the option to have a denture, bridge or replacement implant. I chose the implant again with gentle dental care as they are fab , it's a truly life changing experience to have a beautiful confident smile. !! So if you are thinking about it ..it IS achievable to have a great smile ! they can do wonders these days, dentistry has come a long long way...and I highly recommend them :))

I used to suffered from severe gum disease for over a decade. My dentist in New Cross referred me to Gentle Dental Care Group for Advanced Gum Care (“periodontal” treatment) and dental implants. I had my first appointment with Dr Mish, he suggested we sort the gum disease out first and then consider implant care for the really bad teeth. I ended up having gum treatment, 3 dental implants, expert bone grafting and 6 implant teeth with a full lower front bridge. The whole procedure took about 6 months and it was carried out with great professionalism, care and attention to detail. Everyone was very kind and nice and the aftercare has been outstanding. Dr Mish is so good at explaining everything at each stage so well, he really guided me through the process. As my case was advanced I needed to go with someone that was qualified (look at the letters after his name) and after seeing his cases and just meeting his passion and enthusiasm just blew me away. My treatment is now completed and I am very happy with my implants, my confident is back, I don’t have to worry about biting an apple or gum pains anymore. The results are absolutely brilliant and I have fixed teeth and continue to maintain my gum hygiene with the hygienist. My whole life is just simply better, as I can be myself again! I very much recommend the Team and Experts and Specialists at 391 Gentle Dental Care. Anyone thinking of having treatment, just do it with them it's your health and smile - and they are the best and I felt it was worth it!
