Hide Gaps In Your Smile With Dental Bridges in Preston

What is a Dental Bridge?

Dental Bridges can be used to fill a space or gap in your mouth, as long as you have a healthy natural tooth of your own that can be used to hold the bridge in place. If the surrounding teeth are also damaged, we can also place the crown using a small metal wing attached to the back of the surrounding teeth.

How Much Does a Dental Bridge Typically Cost?

The cost of a dental bridge varies depending on several factors, such as the type of bridge, the materials used, and the complexity of the procedure. On average, prices start from £695 per tooth, but a more accurate estimate can be provided after a consultation.

What Types of Dental Bridges Do We Offer?

Conventional Bridge
Bridges are typically made up of a prosthetic tooth attached to one or two dental crowns. The crowns are fixed to healthy teeth on either side of the gap, providing a solid anchor to hold the restoration.

This option is an ideal choice if you’re looking for a reliable restoration. This type of bridge will typically last for around 10 years with good care. However, you should be aware that it requires preparation of the surrounding teeth.

Preparing the teeth by removing enamel puts you at increased risk that the tooth could be weakened over time, so this is something to take into consideration.

Adhesive Bridge
With an adhesive bridge, the false tooth is attached to the surrounding teeth using a small metal wing. The metal wing is attached to the back of the natural teeth, with no preparation of the tooth surface required.

While this is a safer option, it is also slightly less reliable, as the wing may come loose over time. If this happens, you can save the bridge and we can attempt to reattach it during an emergency dental appointment.

Benefits of Dental Bridges:
