Restorative Dentistry · St Albans
A dental bridge is a fixed, natural-looking way to replace one or more missing teeth — restoring your bite, your smile and your confidence. Our dentist in St Albans crafts bridges that feel just like your own teeth.
A bridge is a custom-made restoration that uses your existing teeth (or dental implants) on either side of a gap to support one or more replacement teeth, called pontics. The whole bridge is bonded permanently in place — you can't remove it.
Most modern bridges at our St Albans practice are made from lithium-disilicate (e-max) or zirconia ceramic, giving you a strong, biocompatible result that looks like natural enamel.
Your dentist will recommend the option that best suits your tooth position, bite, gum health and aesthetic goals.
Both bridges and implants are excellent ways to replace missing teeth. Bridges are typically faster (a few weeks rather than several months) and can be a good option when the adjacent teeth already have large fillings or crowns. Implants don't rely on neighbouring teeth and help preserve jaw bone. We'll discuss both options openly with you at your consultation in St Albans.
Your treatment journey
We assess your gap, bite and adjacent teeth to plan the right kind of bridge for you.
Under local anaesthetic, the supporting teeth are shaped and digital impressions are taken.
A temporary bridge keeps you smiling and eating while your permanent one is crafted.
We check the fit, colour and bite carefully, then permanently bond your new bridge in place.
