A fixed, natural-looking gap-filler
A missing tooth affects more than the way your smile looks — it changes how you bite, speak, and how the surrounding teeth sit over time. A dental bridge is a fixed, permanent restoration that fills the gap by anchoring a replacement tooth to the healthy teeth on either side. At Cardiff Dental and Aesthetics Centre, every bridge is custom-made to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or crowns on either side of the gap — effectively ‘bridging’ the space. Modern bridges are made from strong, tooth-coloured materials such as porcelain or ceramic, so they blend naturally with your existing teeth.
Why choose a dental bridge?
Replacing missing teeth matters for both your oral health and your confidence.
Your journey to a complete smile
Most bridges take two visits. Here’s the journey:
- 1
Consultation and assessment — We examine your teeth and discuss whether a bridge is the right option — implants and partial dentures are also on the table if they suit your situation better.
- 2
Tooth preparation — The teeth next to the gap are carefully prepared so crowns can support the bridge. An impression or digital scan creates your custom-made bridge.
- 3
Temporary bridge — A temporary restoration protects the prepared teeth while your permanent bridge is being crafted.
- 4
Final bridge placement — Once ready, your bridge is securely fitted and adjusted to make sure it feels natural when you bite and chew.
