Restore Your Smile with Confidence

Missing teeth can affect your appearance, your bite and your long-term oral health. At Minti Dental Group, we offer natural-looking dental bridges to fill the gap and bring back your full smile. Our bridges are carefully crafted to match your existing teeth in shape, colour and function.

Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, we can help restore comfort and confidence with a solution that looks and feels natural.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It works by attaching a false tooth (or teeth) between two healthy teeth on either side of the gap. These supporting teeth are usually fitted with crowns to anchor the bridge in place.

Bridges help to:

Restore your ability to chew and speak clearly.

Maintain the shape of your face.

Prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting out of place.

Improve the appearance of your smile.

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

We provide several options based on your needs, your budget and the condition of your supporting teeth.

Traditional Bridge

Held in place by crowns on both sides of the gap. This is the most common and reliable type.

Cantilever Bridge

Used when there's only one healthy tooth next to the missing space, ideal for less heavily-loaded areas of the mouth.

Maryland Bridge

A less invasive option that uses a metal or ceramic wing bonded to the back of nearby teeth, with minimal preparation.

Your dentist will recommend the most suitable option during your consultation.

To get the most from your new bridge, follow these care tips:

Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush.

Visit our hygienists for regular cleanings.
Attend check-ups every 6 months to monitor your restoration.

Good oral hygiene and regular care will help your bridge last many years.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long will a dental bridge last?

With proper care, bridges can last 10 to 15 years or more.

2. Does it hurt to get a bridge?

No. The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel any pain. Some patients notice mild sensitivity in the prepared teeth for a few days, which usually settles quickly.

3. Can I replace my bridge in the future?

Yes. Like any dental restoration, bridges may eventually need replacing. When the time comes, we can fit a new bridge or discuss alternative options such as implants if your situation has changed.

4. Is a bridge better than an implant?

Both are excellent options, and the right choice depends on your case. Implants are often the longer-term solution and don't rely on neighbouring teeth, while bridges are quicker, less invasive and typically more affordable. We'll talk you through both at your consultation.
