Dental bridge in Leicester
A dental bridge is a fixed solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap with a custom-made restoration that’s designed to look and feel like your own teeth.
Why choose dental bridge?
Losing a tooth can affect how you eat, speak and smile. A dental bridge fills the gap securely — without the need for surgery or removable appliances.

A strong, natural way to fill the gap
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge uses the teeth on either side of a gap to support one or more replacement teeth. The supporting teeth are fitted with crowns, and the false tooth (or teeth) is anchored between them.
Bridges are often used when an implant isn’t the right option, or when patients want a fixed solution without needing surgery. They can be made from porcelain, metal, zirconia or a combination — depending on where they’re placed and what matters most to you.
A straightforward way to restore your smile
Bridges are a trusted, well-established way to replace missing teeth — especially when you want something fixed, reliable and natural-looking. We’ll talk you through the options and make sure it fits your bite, your goals, and your comfort.
The dental bridge treatment process
1. consultation and planning
We assess your mouth, take X-rays or a digital scan, and check if a bridge is the right choice. We’ll explain what to expect and go through material options.
2. prep and temporary bridge
The supporting teeth are gently reshaped and impressions are taken. A temporary bridge is fitted to protect your teeth while the final one is made.
3. fit and finish
Your custom bridge is securely bonded in place. We check your bite, make adjustments, and ensure everything feels natural and comfortable.
Questions about dental bridges in Leicester?
How many teeth can a bridge replace?
A bridge can replace one tooth or several in a row, depending on the health of the surrounding teeth.
Will it affect how I eat or speak?
No — quite the opposite. A bridge can improve chewing and speech if a missing tooth was causing problems.
What are bridges made from?
They can be made from porcelain, ceramic, metal or zirconia — or a combination. We’ll recommend what works best for your needs and smile.
Are bridges better than implants?
They’re different. Bridges are a good option when implants aren’t suitable — or if you want a non-surgical solution. We’ll help you compare both.
How do I look after a bridge?
Brush and floss as normal, paying special attention around the base. We’ll show you how to clean under the bridge properly to keep everything healthy.
