Dental Bridges in Plymouth
Dental bridges are designed to stay in place and not be removed by using the teeth on either side of the gap as an anchor for the false tooth.
Based in Plymouth, we serve patients from across the Ocean City, including Plympton, Plymstock, Stoke Village and Derriford.
We are also a convenient choice for those travelling from Saltash, Torpoint and Ivybridge.
Fitting you with a dental bridge requires two visits here with us at Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre in Plymouth.
Our Cosmetic Dentist, Dr Lenore Bronkhorst, with over 35 years of experience, will advise you on the best course of action to work within your budget.
At the first visit, your tooth or teeth are shaped for the type of dental bridge chosen. We then scan your teeth using a digital scanner and send this to our dental laboratory.
After shaping and scanning, a temporary bridge will be fitted so that you can smile and function normally.
Contact us today about setting up a no-obligation Dental Bridge consultation.
What are the main types of Dental Bridges?
The three main types of dental bridges are Fixed Bridges, Cantilevers, and Resin-Retained (adhesive) Bridges.
Fixed Dental 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 powerful glue to bond a wing to the inner surface of the teeth beside 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. As well as brushing at home, a range of additional 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.
How much does a Dental Bridge in Plymouth cost?
Dental bridgework at Mannamead Cosmetic Dental Centre starts from £760 per unit, depending on the number of teeth and the system used.
All new patients will be asked to book a 1-hour comprehensive examination appointment, which costs £150.
This exam will include your teeth and gum health and structural integrity, bite functioning, cosmetic aspects, and any X-rays needed.
After we have carefully listened to what you want and under the professional guidance of the dentist, we will be able to create a customised treatment plan for you and discuss the treatments available with estimated costs.
A deposit of £60 is required when booking, with the remaining £90 due on the day of your appointment.
Please note that this fee is fully refundable if you notify us of your cancellation at least 72 hours in advance. Your deposit will not be refunded for cancellations made with shorter notice or failed appointments.
