For Missing Teeth

Bridges

Bridges can be a great option for filling the gap created by a missing tooth. Our clinical team can create a false tooth which is either bonded to surrounding crowns or surrounding natural teeth. At Square Mile Dental Centre we often use a composite material that is designed to match the natural colouring of your existing teeth. Most commonly, a false tooth is fixed to two crowns which are bonded to the natural teeth either side of the gap. In cases where the teeth on either side are strong and healthy, the artificial tooth is attached using ‘wings’ which are fixed to the existing teeth.

Having a bridge fitted provides a natural looking restoration of the smile without the need for dental surgery. Bridges can also help to strengthen the surrounding teeth and maintain the health of the existing teeth and gums. There are many different types of bridge, so contact our team to discuss the right option for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I a good candidate for a bridge?: Bridges can be an excellent option if your missing tooth is surrounded by healthy teeth, and is often the preferred option over a dental implant. Only you can decide if this option is right for you, and is the ideal way to restore your smile. You are welcome to contact the team at Square Mile for further discussion, or to book a consultation where we can discuss your specific needs.
What are the follow up or aftercare procedures?: It can be uncomfortable to eat normally for a few days following your bridge placement, so you will be advised on soft foods that are easy and painless to consume. Following this you should be able to return to your usual daily activities, with expert check-ups being arranged regularly with our team.
Will it hurt?: Dental bridges can be mildly uncomfortable following the procedure, and any tenderness or sensitivity will subside over a short period of time.
How do I care for my bridge?: Caring for a dental bridge involves the same process as caring for your natural teeth, with regular brushing, flossing and dental check-ups. This allows you to continue life as normal with a new and wonderful smile.

  I cannot recommend Square Mile Dental Centre highly enough, if you're looking for a professional and friendly dentist that care about your dental wellbeing and comfort during appointments then this is it. I've had a check-up, hygienist appointment, whitening and composite bonding done here in the last few months and every visit has been a pleasant experience. The reception staff are very welcoming and always helpful and Dr Ankeet Shah and the dental nurses are extremely skilled. Thank you to everyone who has made my experience so fantastic so far, it's a very pleasant surprise to have found such a gem of a dental practice in such a convenient location! Me and my pearly white teeth are very grateful to you all 🦷

  I had a fantastic experience with Elaine and her team. Elaine immediately understood the natural result that I wanted and was a complete perfectionist - she was keen to keep enhancements to a minimal and to mirror my natural teeth which I really appreciated. I was super impressed by her knowledge. Her team were lovely and made sure I was relaxed and looked after throughout the whole treatment. I loved seeing how well Elaine and her colleagues work together! I’m delighted with my teeth and definitely smiling more thanks to Elaine & team!

  I recently had an emergency appointment at Square Mile Dentist Centre after my filling fell off, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the care I received from Dr. Ankeet Shah and the team. As someone who is generally anxious about dental visits, I was particularly thankful for the calm and comforting environment they created. Dr. Shah was incredibly professional, using advanced techniques that made the process smooth and surprisingly pleasant. The cleanliness and efficiency of the clinic also stood out to me, making the entire experience far less stressful than anticipated. Additionally, the Front of House was lovely, contributing to a very welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend Dr. Ankeet Shah to anyone looking for a dentist who truly understands how to ease patient anxieties while providing top-notch dental care.

  I have been a patient with Square Mile for many years and have
always received an excellent level of service and professionalism from all the staff.  They were able to help when other practices were not able to find the problem, and I was always dealt with in a friendly and interested manner.  Many thanks.

  I spoke with Rosie who was really lovely, kind and helpful. Rosie managed to help me get booked in for an initial consultation which was urgently needed.

During my consultation the staff at reception were really lovely, the dental nurse who saw me was very helpful. I was given an insight to my root canal issue and what the treatment will include. He also provided me with antibiotics which was needed for my swollen gum (after I had the filling done).

The dental nurse was very clear on what I needed and gave me advice on how I can better manage my tooth issue. Overall my experience with the dental practice has been amazing. Very helpful, attentive and efficient!
