Dental Bridges in Plymouth
Dental bridges are designed to stay in place and not be removed by anchoring the false tooth to the teeth on either side of the gap.
Our Principal Dentist, Dr Lenore Bronkhorst, is an internationally trained Cosmetic Dentist who has just celebrated 40 years in dentistry.
Dr Bronkhorst has advanced training in placing Dental Implants, is an experienced Invisalign Provider, and has a special interest in Sedation for nervous patients.
From our state-of-the-art clinic near Mutley Plain, we serve patients from across Ocean City, including Plympton, Plymstock, Stoke Village and Derriford, and are conveniently located for those travelling from Saltash, Torpoint and Ivybridge.
Treatment Overview
Quick and cost-effective.
Easy to maintain.
Fitting you with a dental bridge requires two visits here with us at Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre in Plymouth.
At the first visit, your tooth or teeth are prepared for the type of dental bridge you choose. We then scan your teeth with a digital scanner and send the scan to our dental laboratory.
After shaping and scanning, a temporary bridge will be fitted so that you can smile and function normally.

Dental Bridges FAQ
What are the main types of Dental Bridges?
The three main types of dental bridges are:
Fixed Bridges
A fixed bridge uses new dental crowns on the teeth on either side of the gap to anchor the false tooth/teeth. This solution is very stable and can be used anywhere in the mouth, but it involves crowning teeth, which can result in the polishing away of tooth structure.
Resin-Bonded Adhesive Bridges
Adhesive bridges use very strong glue to bond a wing to the inner surface of the teeth next to the gap. These wings act as an anchor for the false bridge tooth. However, this technique is usually only suitable for small gaps and front teeth.
Cantilever Bridges
Cantilever bridges are used where only one secure tooth is on one side of the gap.
How do I look after my Dental Bridge?
Caring for a bridge is key to its long-term success. This includes regular cleaning of gaps underneath the bridge and visits to our hygienist. In addition to brushing at home, a range of dental hygiene aids helps keep your bridge clean.
What are the alternatives to a Dental Bridge?
Dental Implants and removable Dentures are alternatives to a dental bridge.
