Dental Bridges Glasgow

What is a Dental Bridge?

Dental bridges are used to fill gaps where you have lost teeth due to injury or extraction. Traditionally they are attached to healthy teeth on either side of a gap but we offer a variety of different types of bridges in our Glasgow practice depending on the size of gap in your teeth and the quality of the surrounding teeth.

What Sort of Dental Bridges Are There?

Traditional Bridge

We use this type of bridge when you have healthy teeth on either side of the gap. We fit crowns to those natural teeth and they support an artificial tooth in between.

Cantilever Bridge

This is similar to the traditional style of dental bridge except it is only attached to one crown for when there are healthy teeth on just one side of the gap. Needless to say, this isn't quite as strong as having two supports.

Maryland Bridge

This type uses metal wings instead of crowns bonded to the supporting teeth and to secure the bridge in place. We mostly use Maryland bridges on front teeth.

Implant Bridge

A great solution for when you have several missing teeth. We place high-quality dental implants first. Then once they have fused properly to the bone we fit your implant bridge on top.

In all cases our expert dental labs are involved in producing top quality fixtures shaded to match your original teeth.

Patient Reviews

"If you are looking for a dentist who explains everything he is about to do, who does exactly what he says he is going to do, and is extremely professional and friendly, then you'll find it harder to beat Brendan. In fact, all the staff are friendly and helpful, and I can't recommend him enough!" Alan Cunningham, Glasgow patient
