At Orthodontics Manchester, we believe that a cosmetic bridge can be an excellent option to close gaps in both front and back teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. This standard procedure involves using neighbouring teeth as anchors, securely holding the missing tooth, known as a pontic, in place. With a dental bridge, you can chew and function confidently, as it becomes a permanent fixture once securely fixed to neighbouring teeth.
A cosmetic bridge is a dental marvel that bridges the gap left by missing teeth. At our Cheadle clinic, we offer various designs tailored to your needs. Some designs require minimal alteration of the supporting abutment teeth, while others involve full coverage of artificial crowns on these teeth. Additionally, bridges can also be supported by dental implants, depending on the strength of the remaining teeth and the number of missing teeth.
Improved Eating and Speaking: With a dental bridge, you can enjoy eating your favourite foods and speaking with confidence.
Enhanced Facial Contours: A dental bridge helps maintain the natural shape and contours of your face, enhancing your overall appearance.
Proper Bite Force Distribution: By distributing chewing forces evenly, a bridge ensures your bite functions correctly and comfortably.
Prevention of Teeth Shifting: Dental bridges keep neighbouring teeth in place, preventing them from shifting out of their proper positions.
Replaces Missing Teeth: Bridges offer a reliable solution for missing teeth, providing both function and aesthetics.
Natural Look: Once treated, no one will be able to tell you ever had missing teeth.
Improves Chewing Ability: By stabilising your bite, a bridge restores your ability to chew with ease.
Our goal at Orthodontics Manchester is to create a bridge that not only functions flawlessly but also blends seamlessly with your natural dentition. We take a personalised approach, ensuring your bridge fits naturally with your bite and the appearance of your neighbouring teeth. Our experienced ceramist handcrafts each bridge to perfection, ensuring a natural look and comfortable fit.
The length of your treatment at Orthodontics Manchester depends on the chosen design. For instance, an implant-supported bridge may take longer due to the preparatory work involved in surgically placing and healing a dental implant. Rest assured, our team is dedicated to providing you with a tailored experience, ensuring your bridge is crafted to perfection.

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. A false tooth, known as a pontic, is held in place by the neighbouring teeth or by dental implants.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a dental bridge can last for many years. Your dentist will explain how to care for your bridge to help it last as long as possible.
Brush twice a day and clean under the false tooth every day using floss threaders, super floss or interdental brushes. This helps prevent plaque build-up and gum problems.
The supporting teeth are prepared under local anaesthetic, so you should feel very little discomfort during treatment. Some sensitivity afterwards is normal and usually settles within a few days.
A bridge may be suitable if the teeth on either side of the gap are healthy and strong enough to support it. Your dentist will assess your mouth and discuss alternatives, such as implants or dentures, if they are more suitable.
