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’ve been going to Love Teeth for almost two years since I got my composite bonding done. Everyone is so kind, helpful and great at what they do.
I was made to feel welcome here from start to finish. Friendly and professional people from front to back. Excellent hygienist appointment, very pleased with results. I will definitely return, and would highly recommend 😊
The girls are kind and lovely and Emanuele so experienced with implants that the entire procedure is quick and relatively painless. Highly recommend.
I am extremely nervous about the dentist and have been for 2 fillings today. When I came in I was shaking and on the edge of tear but Rohan was brilliant, really reassuring and made me feel really comfortable. My nerves calmed throughout and had a great experience. Thanks Rohan
Friendly, professional practice – I registered with my local Love Teeth Dental practice back in September and have not regretted it. The technology they have is amazing! Dr Laraeb and her lovely nurse are such a great team working together, reassuring and making sure I am comfortable while crowning my tooth. All my planned treatments and costs were explained to me. I am not left waiting weeks/months for an appointment and are available on the day that works best for me. I have also visited the hygienist, who again was friendly, professional and explained how to look after my teeth. Happy I moved to my local Love Teeth Dental practice.
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.
Really want to say a massive thank you to Tracey at reception who went above and beyond to be able to get me an appointment before I moved! Kept me in the loop and moved schedules around so I could be seen. I’m so grateful for her help – she’s a shining example of amazing customer service. Also big shout out to Dr Sheena and her assistant in training (didn’t catch her name unfortunately) who performed my first root canal yesterday. Both were so gentle and kind and ensured I was ok throughout the procedure. Thank you so much.
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.
