Bridges
When the tooth fairy pays an unwelcome visit, you may be left wondering if anything can be done to get your tooth back and fill the gap they leave behind.
With a dental bridge, you can do just that, using the teeth on either side as a secure anchor to keep the replacement in place permanently.
Bridges restore your smile by getting rid of gaps. And they also play an essential role in maintaining general oral health by restoring the bite function and preventing neighbouring teeth from crowding into the space left behind.

Been going here for a couple of years after having Invisalign with them. Polite staff, great service and a decently priced plan- highly recommended!
I chose love teeth ahead of my wedding as I kept seeing the ABC package advertised and I’m so glad I did! Depen was amazing throughout my Invisalign journey and then Michael (the bonding specialist) has been incredible and given me the teeth I’ve always wanted! Any issues I’ve had even after the ABC package they have managed to sort out straight away and have been so lovely throughout. I’m super grateful to the team and so so happy with my new teeth!
Brilliant experience every time! I travel over an hour and a half to come here. I’ve had the full smile make over – Invisalign, whitening and composite bonding and I love my teeth and get so many compliments where as before I used to hate my smile. Come here regularly now for check ups and hygienist appointments. Will continue to travel as a great experience every time. Spotless clinics, helpful friendly staff and feel it’s good value for money. Would recommend to others!
Wonderful experience with Dr Megna Shah who was so kind and welcoming and did a fantastic job with my filling. I was worried about it before hand but she mad me feel very comfortable and the process was very smooth. I highly recommend this practise to anyone and in particular Dr Shah.
I am so pleased with my new implant! The centre is spotless and modern. All of the staff by are welcoming and friendly. I was very nervous but the lovely dental nurse reassured me I was in good hands and was there for every appointment. Dr Emmanuel Clozza made me feel at ease with his expertise straight away. He has done an amazing job!
After my girlfriend recommending them as being the best I decided to get my teeth looked at. My teeth are now complete and I can’t actually believe the difference they’re amazing. I highly recommend Loveteeth dental practice, very professional and very welcoming. I could not be happier! Thank you so much!
Very welcoming and thorough advice on composite bonding for my teeth!
Had 2 fillings without an inch of pain.. Didn’t even feel the injection and one side was done without numbing. Was given such a warm welcome by all and the dentist even promised he wouldn’t spoil my lovely day so far.. The experience really didn’t. Thank you so much Love Teeth Dental.
Dental Bridges – Your Options
There are several types of dental bridges to choose from. Don’t worry if this all sounds a little technical—our experienced team can talk you through the options and let you know which type will work best for you.
Traditional Bridge
We use these when there are healthy teeth on either side of the gap to rely on for support. We may fit crowns to strengthen them before installing your new prosthetic tooth. Traditional bridges are typically made from ceramics or porcelain, which can fuse to metal.
Cantilever Bridge
If there is a healthy tooth only on one side of the gap, all is not lost. A cantilever bridge is similar to a traditional bridge. However, it relies on just one adjacent tooth for support.
Maryland Bonded Bridges
These are sometimes referred to as resin-bonded bridges and can be made from a combination of porcelain, metal, plastic and resin. They are fixed to the adjacent teeth using porcelain or metal wings.
Dental Bridges – The Process
In true Love Teeth style, we’ll start with a consultation to find out whether a bridge is right for you. We’ll let you know a bit more about the different types of bridges on offer, and we may take an X-ray of your jaw to make sure it’s the best course of action.
At your first appointment, we’ll prepare the teeth on either side of the gap, making minor adjustments to their shape to ensure they can easily support the prosthetic tooth. We’ll then fit a temporary bridge while the permanent one is precision-engineered in the laboratory.
At a follow-up appointment, we’ll replace the temporary bridge with its permanent replacement. This will match the shade and shape of your existing teeth for a completely seamless look.
We’ll see you again in a few weeks to make sure you’re 100% happy with your new bridge, and we can also make any adjustments if necessary.

Frequently asked questions about dental bridges in Surrey
What are dental bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed restorations that literally “bridge” a gap left by missing teeth. They do this by anchoring an artificial tooth (the pontic) to adjacent natural teeth (abutments) or implants.
How does a bridge restore function?
Bridges help restore chewing, speaking, and overall dental function. They also prevent neighbouring teeth from drifting out of alignment and protect your bite.
Will my bridge look natural?
Absolutely, it will be custom-crafted using materials like porcelain or ceramic to match the shade, shape, and texture of your natural teeth for a seamless appearance.
How long do dental bridges last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check‑ups, bridges can last anywhere from 5 to 10+ years, and many patients enjoy an even longer lifespan.
