Before & After
Dental Bridges FAQs

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is anchored to the adjacent teeth, offering a stable and secure solution for restoring a complete smile.
Unlike traditional removable dentures, which can be taken out and cleaned, dental bridges are permanently fixed onto the adjacent teeth, offering greater stability and a more natural feel.
Pennypot Dental offers various types of dental bridges, including traditional bridges, cantilever bridges, and Maryland (resin-bonded) bridges. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your specific needs.
Dental bridges offer numerous benefits, including:
- Serving as a reliable bridge for missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance.
- Looking, feeling, and functioning like natural teeth.
- Being fixed and secure, eliminating the need for nightly removal.
- Helping maintain facial structure and preventing a sunken appearance caused by tooth loss.
- Providing a cost-effective alternative to dental implants.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the dental bridge procedure. Local anaesthesia is typically used to ensure you are comfortable throughout the treatment appointment.
The dental bridge process usually involves two visits. The first visit includes preparation of the adjacent teeth and taking impressions, while the second visit is for placing the final bridge. The total timeline may vary based on individual circumstances. This can be discussed with the dentist during your dental assessment.
Caring for a dental bridge is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing and routine dental check-ups keep your smile healthy and ensure the longevity of the bridge.
With proper care and maintenance, a dental bridge can last between 5 to 15 years or longer. Regular visits to our Kent practice will ensure longer-lasting results.
After getting a dental bridge, it is advisable to avoid hard or sticky foods until you have adjusted to the new bridge. Your dentist will provide specific recommendations based on your situation.
To begin your journey with a dental bridge, contact Pennypot Dental to schedule a consultation. Your dentist will assess your dental needs and discuss the best options for you.
