What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed prosthetic dental treatments that restore multiple missing teeth. They are a series of dental crowns connected like bridges to fill gaps with natural results and exceptional functionality.
Dental bridges are highly versatile treatments that allow us to restore your lost function with numerous materials such as ceramics, metal, and porcelain.
Why Choose Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges offer multiple benefits, including:
- Enhance the appearance and natural results
- Recover multiple lost teeth with one treatment
- Improved speech and chewing
- Maintain face structure and prevent tooth shifting
- Better comfort due to their fixed feature
- High durability
Although they eventually require replacement, dental bridges can last decades in perfect condition under the correct care and maintenance. You can also contact Westmount Dental Bridges Middlesbrough by emailing us at enquiries@
Suitability
Our ideal candidates for dental bridges have healthy or restorable teeth and bone surrounding their gaps. Whether you have one or multiple missing teeth, dental bridges can solve the issue. However, they require tooth preparation and enamel wearing to allow space for your bridge material.
Types of Dental Bridges
- Traditional Bridges
These are the most common types of dental bridges. They use crowns on each side of your teeth gap to sustain artificial teeth between, called pontics. They are effective in multiple situations, for front and back teeth.
- Cantilever Bridges
Cantilever dental bridges are specialised alternatives used when you have adjacent teeth only on one side of your gap. Your bridge is then supported by two or more healthy teeth with a hanging crown at the end. They are less common and used primarily on back gaps with specific conditions.
- Maryland Bonded Bridges
Marylands are cosmetic dental bridges that attach to the back of your teeth to restore one frontal missing tooth. They use ceramic or porcelain frameworks that bond to your tooth structure, allowing minor tooth preparation and excellent aesthetic results.
- Implant-Supported Bridges
Your dental bridges can also go over dental implants. These bridges work similarly to their traditional counterparts but use dental implants instead of your natural teeth.
This option allows us to restore multiple missing teeth without altering your remaining denture and provide a safe and long-lasting alternative after your dental implant procedure. Contact Dental Bridges Middlesbrough at 01642 850011 or email us at enquiries@
Choosing the Right Dental Bridges for You
Eligibility Criteria
Dental bridges come in multiple materials, designs, protocols, and combinations. Therefore, choosing the appropriate dental bridge depends on comprehensive evaluation and tailored treatment plans from our specialists.
Some factors that you can consider when choosing your dental bridge are:
Expected durability
Location and extension of your gap
Medical conditions and allergies
Cost and budget
Materials used

On many occasions, dental bridge treatments require multiple steps, numerous dental appointments, and considerable commitment to obtain splendid results. However, they are personalised options that allow us to solve all your issues with predictable and functional results.
However, some conditions and systemic diseases may hinder some options, like implant-supported bridges or cantilevers.
By contrasting all the information gathered on your tests and clinical evaluation, our team can trace a treatment plant that adapts to your needs and preferences, allowing you to have the most effective alternative.

- Materials used.
- Need for previous procedures, like dental posts, bone grafts, or root canals.

The Process of Dental Bridges
- Initial Consultation: during this step, our specialist performs multiple tests, Including X-rays, 3D imaging, and a complete oral evaluation to create a treatment plant.
- Preparation and Confection: after removing the decay and performing the additional procedures needed, we perform your tooth preparation, removing a thin tooth layer. Once the preparation is completed, we take a dental impression and send it to our professional technicians.
- Temporary Bridge Placement: while your new bridge arrives, you wear a temporary bridge that bonds to your teeth with provisional cement. This provisional bridge allows us to evaluate your bridge performance and find possible complications.
- Fitting and Cementing: with your final crown finished, our team performs various fitting tests to ensure a perfect adaptation and fix your bridge with a specialised sealing cement.
- Aftercare and home care: you must keep good oral hygiene to guarantee your treatment results and performance. Most times, you will require specialised home tools to maximise your hygiene routine and prevent complications.

Is the procedure painful?
A mild anaesthetic is usually required to numb the surrounding area before treatment. Teeth may be extra sensitive initially after treatment, in which case using sensitive toothpaste may help. Your dentist will advise you on the best course of action.
How long does bridge treatment take?
Two appointments are generally required for the fitting of a dental bridge. In the first, the temporary bridge will be fitted and the surrounding teeth prepared. An impression will be made so that the bridge can be made in a laboratory. Once the permanent bridge has been made it can then be fitted in the second appointment. The bridge may not be permanently cemented at once and extra visits may be required so that the fit is correct, but generally they only take two visits.
Advantages of dental bridges
The bridges look natural in the mouth and fit in beautifully with the rest of the teeth. They also only require two visits to the dentist and so do not take up a lot of time. Another advantage is that they last for a long time if looked after well and their life span is between 5 and ten years. They improve a great deal of issues that missing teeth create such as appearance, bite function and speech.
Disadvantages of dental bridges
For a few weeks after treatment the teeth can be extra sensitive to hot and cold, but this should only be temporary. Teeth on either side of the gap need to be healthy so that they can be treated and prepared. There is also an increased risk of gum disease and oral infection if a high standard of oral hygiene is not maintained.
