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.

The dentist at Love Teeth was very kind and warming and my daughter did not feel nervous at all. I am so grateful they managed to do the extraction with ease. The waiting room for children is also brilliant, with seasonal things to do (colouring, books, ipad, projector with a film on). We would most definitely come back and will now be looking at a membership for my daughter.
I visited Megna for Invisalign treatment and I am incredibly impressed by the quality of treatment and care she has showed. It has been 12 weeks since I started the treatment and have noticed a significant change to my smile. She answers any questions I have and I can see she loves what she does through her diligence in planning my (complex) case!
The team at Sutton Love teeth have been friendly and supportive throughout my Invisalign journey. I was well informed on the process and I am happy with my results!
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.
What can I say!!!! Sheena is amazing, I am petrified of the dentist and needed a potential root canal after a routine exam, Sheena can save my tooth!!!, she made me feel so relaxed and confident about my next visit, would highly recommend love teeth and Sheena, Kerry on reception was a sweetheart and kept me smiling
I recently had the opportunity to visit this clinic for the first time, and I must say, it was a great experience. Dr. Taha, the hygienist, truly stood out with his amazing service. Right from the beginning, he made me feel comfortable and at ease. What impressed me the most was his attentive nature. He patiently listened to all my concerns and took the time to address each one of them thoroughly. It’s rare to find a professional who genuinely cares about their patients’ needs and goes the extra mile to ensure their satisfaction.
Having hated my teeth all my life I decided to treat myself! I did a lot of research and Love Teeth had very good reviews and they also had local practises which made them a good choice. Prior to having porcelain veneers fitted, I saw the hygienist and also had some root canal work done. I wouldn’t say I have a phobia of dentists but I am nervous! But I needn’t have been. It was all pain free! The reception girls were all lovely too. Very friendly and they remember your name! Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Love Teeth (I attended the Sutton clinic).
My HydraFacial at Love Skin was brilliant. The clinic has such a professional vibe, and the team were so friendly and accommodating. My skin felt super clean, smooth, and hydrated afterwards. I dropped one star only because I wish the effects lasted longer – but honestly, I’ll be back for another soon!
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.
