Dental Bridges
in London
Bespoke dental bridges, clear advice and a relaxing central London clinic you can trust.
A Fixed, Natural Way to Replace Missing Teeth
Losing a tooth can affect more than just how your smile looks. You may notice changes when you eat, speak, or even when you laugh without thinking. For many people, a dental bridge offers a reliable way to close the gap and restore everyday comfort.
At Square Mile Dental Centre, we provide dental bridges in London that are carefully planned and thoughtfully made. Our focus is on creating restorations that feel natural, sit comfortably, and support your long-term oral health. If you are looking for a dentist for dental bridges near you, our central London clinic offers clear guidance and a relaxed, professional experience from start to finish.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth. It fills the space by supporting a natural-looking replacement tooth between neighbouring teeth, helping to restore both appearance and function.
Because a bridge is secured in place, it stays put when you eat or speak. Once fitted, it becomes part of your smile, rather than something you need to remove or adjust.
At our clinic, each bridge is made to measure. We take care to match the shade, shape and proportions of your existing teeth so the result blends in naturally and feels right for you.

Types of Dental Bridges
01
Traditional Dental Bridges
This option uses crowns on the teeth either side of the gap to support the replacement tooth. It is often recommended when those neighbouring teeth already need strengthening or restoration.
03
Cantilever Bridges
In certain situations, a bridge can be supported by a single neighbouring tooth. This is only advised when it is clinically appropriate and stable long term.
Your clinician will explain the advantages and limitations of each option so you can make an informed choice.
02
Maryland Bridges
Where the adjacent teeth are healthy, a Maryland bridge may be suitable. The replacement tooth is supported by slim wings bonded to the back of nearby teeth, helping to preserve natural tooth structure.

Your Dental Bridge Journey
We believe that understanding your treatment helps you feel more comfortable and confident. Our approach is unhurried, with clear explanations at every stage.
Your treatment usually involves:
1. Consultation and assessment: We listen to your concerns, assess your teeth and gums, and talk through your options in plain language.
2. Preparation: If supporting teeth need crowns, they are carefully prepared with attention to comfort and accuracy.
3. Digital scans or impressions: Modern digital scanning allows us to plan your bridge with precision. This supports accuracy, improves fit, and helps visualise the final result before it is made.
4. Fitting your bridge: Once ready, your bridge is fitted, adjusted, and securely bonded so it feels comfortable and natural.
Many patients are pleasantly surprised by how straightforward the process feels.
Dental Bridges and Other Tooth Replacement Options
It is common to compare dental bridges with implants or dentures, and we are always happy to talk this through with you.
Dental bridges do not involve placement appointments in the jaw and can often be completed more quickly. They are fixed in place and feel stable, which many patients value.
Dentures can be suitable in some cases, but they are removable and may feel less secure. Dental implants can be an excellent option for some people, but they are not always the right choice for everyone.
Our role is to guide you through these options and help you decide what fits your situation best.

How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?
With good care, dental bridges can last many years. Brushing twice daily, cleaning between teeth, and attending regular dental reviews all play an important role in maintaining your bridge and the teeth that support it.
Ongoing care at home supports long-term results, and we are always here to advise if you have questions along the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a dental bridge damage the teeth next to the gap?
A bridge should not damage healthy teeth when planned correctly. Your dentist will only recommend options that protect long-term tooth strength and gum health.
Does getting a dental bridge hurt?
Most patients report little to no discomfort. Any preparation is carried out gently, and sensitivity is usually mild and temporary.
Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?
Yes. Once fitted and settled, a dental bridge allows you to chew comfortably and confidently, much like natural teeth.
Will my dental bridge look obvious?
Modern bridges are designed to blend in. Careful shade matching and shaping help ensure the bridge looks natural in everyday situations.
Can a dental bridge come loose or fall out?
A well-fitted bridge is securely bonded. Problems are uncommon but can occur if supporting teeth or gums are not kept healthy.
How do I clean under a dental bridge properly?
Special floss or interdental cleaning tools are usually recommended to clean beneath the bridge and protect the supporting teeth.
Can a dental bridge fix speech issues caused by missing teeth?
Yes. Replacing missing teeth often improves speech clarity by restoring proper tongue and airflow positioning.
What happens if I delay replacing a missing tooth?
Over time, nearby teeth may shift, and bite balance can change. Early replacement can help prevent more complex dental issues later.
