A dental bridge is a fixed solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, restoring both your smile and your ability to chew comfortably. Unlike removable dentures, a bridge is permanently secured in place, giving you a natural-looking replacement that feels like part of your own smile. A bridge works by using the healthy teeth on either side of the gap to support a replacement tooth (or teeth) between them. These supporting teeth are carefully prepared before impressions, or digital scans are taken to create a bridge that fits precisely as a natural ‘bridge’ to your own teeth.
Most dental bridges are crafted from strong, durable materials such as porcelain fused to metal or high-quality ceramic, providing both excellent strength and a beautifully natural appearance. Replacing missing teeth with a bridge can help to restore your smile and confidence; improve chewing and speech; prevent neighbouring teeth from drifting into the gap and becoming loose; maintain your bite and facial structure; and provide a fixed alternative to removable dentures.
At YOR Dental, we’ll discuss all your tooth replacement options, including bridges, dental implants and dentures, and help you choose the solution that best suits your oral health, lifestyle and long-term goals.
Your crown and bridges treatment journey at YOR Dental is designed to be relaxed, comfortable and completely tailored to you. From your first consultation through to fitting your new crown or bridge, our experienced team will explain every step, so you always know what to expect.
Once you have had your crown or bridge fitted, we’ll provide personalised advice on caring for your new tooth or teeth so it or they last for many years. With good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and professional hygiene appointments, crowns and bridges can last for over 10 years. After this time they may need refitting or replacing, but some patients experience much longer longevity.
Before you leave, we’ll provide personalised advice on looking after your new crown or bridge to help it last as long as possible. With good oral hygiene, regular dental examinations and routine hygiene appointments, crowns and bridges commonly last 15-20 years or more, with many patients enjoying them for considerably longer. Our team will continue to monitor your restoration at your routine check-ups, ensuring it continues to function beautifully and keeps your smile healthy for years to come.
We’ll begin with a thorough examination of your teeth and gums, taking digital X-rays or scans where needed to assess your oral health and plan your treatment accurately. We’ll take the time to understand your concerns, discuss your goals and explain your treatment options.
If a crown or bridge is the right solution for you, we’ll provide a personalised treatment plan together with a fully itemised quotation, so you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. There’ll also be plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
Once you’re ready to go ahead, we’ll arrange your treatment at a time that’s convenient for you. At your preparation appointment, we’ll gently numb the area with local anaesthetic to ensure you’re completely comfortable throughout. If you’re having a crown, we’ll carefully reshape the tooth, so your new restoration fits securely and naturally. If you’re having a bridge, we’ll prepare the supporting teeth that will anchor your new replacement tooth or teeth. We’ll then take more digital scans and impressions of your teeth and carefully match the shade of your restoration to blend seamlessly with your natural smile. These are sent to our trusted dental laboratory partner, where your bespoke crown or bridge is handcrafted with exceptional precision and attention to detail.
While your permanent restoration is being made, we’ll fit a temporary crown or bridge to protect your prepared teeth, maintain your smile and allow you to eat and speak comfortably. Once your bespoke restoration is ready, you’ll return for your fitting appointment. We’ll carefully check the fit, bite, comfort and appearance before securely bonding it into place. Any final adjustments are made to ensure it feels completely natural, and we’ll only finish your treatment when both you and our clinical team are delighted with the result.
Our patient care plan offers an affordable way of looking after your teeth and dental health.

Michelle from YOR Dental answers some common questions about dental hygiene and how you can better look after your teeth and gums. In this Q&A, Michelle shares practical advice around maintaining good oral health, the importance of regular hygiene appointments and how professional dental hygiene can help keep your smile healthy.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the treatment is. Your tooth or teeth will be fully numbed using a local anaesthetic before any preparation begins, so you shouldn’t feel pain during the procedure.
You may experience some mild sensitivity for a few days afterwards, but this usually settles quickly and paracetamol should help. At YOR Dental, we understand that having a crown or bridge fitted could make you nervous, but don’t worry as we will look after you and make each of your appointments as gentle, relaxed and stress-free as possible.
Modern crowns and bridges are designed to look just like natural teeth and have a great aesthetic. We will carefully match the colour, shape and contours of your restoration to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth to create your perfect smile.
We use really high-quality ceramic and porcelain materials together with precise digital scanning and expert dental laboratory craftsmanship, we create restorations that are strong, durable and beautifully natural-looking. Most people won’t be able to tell the difference between your restoration and your natural teeth.
Yes. Once your permanent crown or bridge has been fitted and any initial sensitivity has settled, you should be able to eat, chew and speak just as you would with your natural teeth. In fact, one of the main benefits of crowns and bridges is that they restore the strength and function of your smile, making everyday eating much more comfortable.
To help your crown or bridge last as long as possible, we recommend avoiding chewing very hard objects such as ice, pens or hard sweets. Maintaining excellent oral hygiene and attending regular dental and hygiene appointments will also help keep your crown or bridge in excellent condition for years to come.
Looking after a crown or bridge is much the same as caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth daily using floss or interdental brushes and attend regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments.
If you have a bridge, it’s particularly important to clean underneath the replacement tooth to prevent plaque build-up and keep the supporting teeth and gums healthy. Our team will show you the best techniques and recommend any cleaning aids that may help. With the right care, your crown or bridge can continue to look, feel and function beautifully for many years.
Dental crowns and bridges can improve the appearance of your smile, but they are not designed to straighten misaligned teeth. Their primary purpose is to restore damaged teeth or replace missing ones while improving function, strength and aesthetics.
If you’re concerned about crooked, crowded or uneven teeth, orthodontic treatment such as clear aligners may be a more appropriate option. In some cases, orthodontic treatment can be completed before a crown or bridge is fitted to achieve the best long-term result.
