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.

I took my anxious son, who had been unsuccessful at treatment with his previous dentist. The team and Dr Woo Young were absolutely fantastic, they were so calm and patient that my son had all his treatment and is happy to go back to see them! Thank you so much, I am very appreciative!
Had a filling done today by the lovely Rohan and Debi. Was a quick and easy process. They talked me through everything letting me know what was going on, and kept making sure I was okay throughout. Couldn’t ask for a better service, both of them were amazing. Thank you x
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!
Wonderful wonderful wonderful! I am so impressed with the incredibly kind, professional staff at this amazing practice.We booked in for a check up and was absolutely delighted when we went in to find a child-centric, relaxed atmosphere where my son felt comfortable. The theming of the waiting room is fantastic, and makes a trip to the dentist an exciting experience for a child, rather than a dreaded one, he even looked forward to returning for his filling! Cannot recommend this place enough, definitely a win for Love Teeth.
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!
Dr KP is highly competent. I am so pleased with my teeth and the service at Love Teeth. The clinic is very welcoming and not clinical like most dentists. Kerry is also a great receptionist and very helpful. Firstly from the consultation with Dr KP I came away so impressed as he understands and doesn’t talk you into anything and explained in depth all the process and answered any questions I had on all the treatments he provides. You don’t feel rushed at all. I really like his expertise and feel completely at ease and confident in his care and I have had the same dentist for over 25 years so never thought I’d say that. He literally did a few adjustments to my teeth and they look amazing! I would highly recommend and I am looking forward to having some more treatments done. Thank you.
My daughters (6 and 2,5 years) and I went went to Love Teeth dental practice today. It was my daughters first dental appointment, and I couldn’t recommend them more! They were so helpful and professional, and incredibly good with my kids! I could not recommend them enough!
Amazing dental practise with very caring doctors. For someone who is scared of dentist I can say it’s a place where people working there gives you confidence. Dr Sheena Patel is an angel. So much recommended!
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.
