Dental Bridges

Family & Specialist Dental Practice in Twickenham

At Claremont Dental Practice in St Margarets, Twickenham, we provide high-quality dental bridges to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Dental bridges are a fixed, natural-looking solution that can improve chewing, speech, appearance and confidence while helping to prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting out of position.

When are dental bridges needed?

Having large gaps between your teeth can be very unsightly and can have a dramatic effect on self-esteem. If you have had a tooth extracted and don’t like the thought of having a gap between your teeth then bridges are an excellent choice. They can be placed not only at the front of your mouth, but also at the back.

Losing a tooth can have many effects on you mouth:

Unstable bite
Shape of your face
Speech
Smile

All these things can be dramatically improved with a bridge.

I’ve had hygienist treatments with Lucia for the last 8 months or so and in that short period of time, the treatment has been so successful, I may be the first person ever to say I wanted to give my hygienist a hug!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a patient here for many years and have complete trust in the team for their skills, range of services and attention to detail. I have moved a long way away from the surgery but have never considered changing dentists. Also a special mention to Molly on the reception desk. Molly is so friendly, attentive and always gives everyone a warm welcome. I have observed that she goes out of her way for everyone to make sure their needs and queries are met. In a wold where service is being more and more dehumanised, Molly does the exact opposite,  and provides such  a genuine, authentic human experience for everyone ..

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve just finished a course of dental treatment with Kirrit Johal and really pleased with the results. I’ve been with Claremont for over 20 years and have always found the front staff, nurses, and the dentists to be very friendly and professional. Highly recommended. 😊

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love Claremont practice, the dentists and hygienists are all excellent. I broke my tooth just after Christmas and they were able to arrange an emergency appointment to fix it. The admin is well managed with regular appointment reminders. The best thing of all is that they take NHS appointments. 100% recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Don’t normally do this sort of thing - let alone for a trip to the dentist - but wanted to sing the praises for my hygienist Lucia today. Great job - and without the usual discomfort. Won’t go as far as saying I look forward to my next visit - but I know it’ll be fine with this hygienist.

What are dental bridges made of?

They can be made with a wide range of materials and here at Claremont Dental Practice we only work with the best dental technicians who use high quality materials. They can be made of porcelain to give an extremely good appearance (for instance when used at the front of your mouth), or from porcelain fused to metal for added strength when replacing a back tooth.

Can I replace my old bridge?

Yes. Older dental bridges which may not match your tooth colour or have black lines at the gum level can easily be replaced by our high quality product to help make your smile natural again.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is supported by neighbouring teeth or dental implants and helps restore appearance, function and confidence.

How long do dental bridges last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental bridges can last many years. Longevity depends on the materials used, oral health and how well the bridge is maintained.

Are dental bridges better than dentures?

Dental bridges are fixed in place and generally feel more like natural teeth. Dentures are removable and may be suitable when multiple teeth are missing. Your dentist can advise which option is most appropriate.

Are dental bridges better than dental implants?

Both are effective solutions for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants replace the tooth root and do not rely on neighbouring teeth, while bridges can often provide a faster and less invasive treatment option.

Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?

Yes. Once your bridge has been fitted and you have adjusted to it, you should be able to eat and chew comfortably.

How do I clean a dental bridge?

Bridges require regular brushing and specialised cleaning beneath the replacement tooth. Your dentist or hygienist will show you the best cleaning techniques.
