Missing Tooth? See How Dental Bridges Fills the Gap
Missing a tooth can make even having a simple meal into a hardwork.
Nobody likes the thought of wearing loose plastic dentures. That is why patients visits YOR Dental in MediaCity, Manchester, asking: what are teeth bridges, and how does a dental bridge work?
A dental bridge is meant to fill the gap that is created by the missing tooth by attaching to the neighbouring teeth.
You can take dentures out at night, but a dental bridge stays firmly in place. Once it’s bonded in, it’s strong enough to function much like your own natural teeth.
How Does a Dental Bridge Stay Firmly in Place?
The classic setup uses crowns. We prepare the two teeth either side of the gap and cap them with crowns. An artificial replacement tooth sits between them, held in place by both. It looks like three teeth sitting in a neat row.

What Happens When You Get a Bridge?
Getting one done at our MediaCity, Manchester clinic takes two trips. First, we scan your mouth digitally and fit a temporary bridge to protect it. Once our dental laboratory partner finishes handcrafting your permanent bridge in porcelain or ceramic, you return to get the bridge bonded into place.
