Dental Bridges

Dental Bridges are one option to replace a missing tooth or teeth. There are two main types of Dental Bridges, both of which are fixed to neighbouring natural teeth.

Wish to know more about Dental Bridges?

Dental Bridges are a type of false tooth or teeth that anchor to neighbouring teeth to fill an existing gap. There are two main types of Dental Bridge: Conventional Bridges, which use crowns to sit on top of the neighbouring natural teeth, with the false tooth (called a pontic) in between them and Adhesive Bridges, with wings that fit to the back of the neighbouring natural teeth.

There are benefits and downsides to each type, which can be fully discussed with the clinician at your consultation. Each bridge will be custom-made to a design that fits your mouth perfectly. Both methods offer a range of different benefits but are equally designed to minimise cutting and damage to remaining natural teeth. The false teeth are made using porcelain and a mixture of precious metals for a natural finish.

What are Dental Bridges?

At Wish Dental, we’re highly experienced in creating and fitting Dental Bridges using both Conventional and Adhesive methods. Dental Bridges are a suitable option for many patients and our team are well-experienced to help you decide whether they’re the right choice for you.

The Benefits of Dental Bridges

The key benefit of Dental Bridges is their ability to transform an incomplete smile by replacing missing teeth. Looking into the treatment in further detail, there are various  reasons why a Dental Bridge, either Conventional or Adhesive, may feel like the right option for you.

Some of the main reasons are:

  • Life-like finish using false teeth, custom-made from porcelain and precious metals
  • Two different methods of fitting make this treatment suitable for multiple patients
  • Cutting and damage to neighbouring natural teeth is minimised
  • Dental Bridges have a good life span of 5-15 years with proper care

If you choose to proceed with a Dental Bridge, the treatment begins with preparation of the abutment (neighbouring) teeth by removing a layer of enamel, after which impressions are taken to create the false tooth and fittings, which are then produced to the highest standard in a laboratory and fitted with dental cement.

Should I choose a Conventional or Adhesive Bridge?

A Conventional Dental Bridge is where the new false tooth is attached to two crowns which sit on top of the neighbouring natural teeth. This type of bridge is effective for fixing single or multiple missing teeth and can be used in various positions around the mouth.

Alternatively, we offer Adhesive Bridges, sometimes known as ‘sticky bridges’. This type of false tooth is fixed to neighbouring teeth using one or two metal wings that adhere to the behind-side of these teeth. This option is generally more suitable for single missing teeth, particularly those positioned at the front of the mouth.

The team at Wish Dental will be able to explain each treatment in more depth and help you make an informed decision.

After suffering with a very painful tooth I needed an extraction which was completed by Tom who put me at ease and explained everything all the way through, with advice for after care. Would definitely recommend Wish.

Anne Bostock

I required a filling, and a tooth extraction this morning. Sion is an outstanding dentist. Very informative throughout the appointment. Chatty as well, which puts me at ease. He went through some aftercare as well. No pain suffered. Thank you Sion.

Russell Bingham

I have always been very pleased with every aspect of customer care service and experience at Wish Dental. It is the only dental surgery I have ever been to of which I can honestly say I have never experienced any pain or discomfort. I would not hesitate to recommend Wish Dental and in fact I have done so to several of my friends.

Paul Curran

I have only wonderful things to say about Wish. My teeth have never been less troublesome, I am no longer petrified, they are always friendly and accommodating and the practice itself is spotless, modern and calming. I have always hated the dentist and Wish has completely changed my mind.

Anna Davies

Great service. Always quick to answer the phones, appointment times to fit you. Appointments run on time. Staff are always professional, friendly and helpful. Staff are knowledgeable and answer any questions. Would certainly recommend.

Julie Ford

Amazing and friendly staff who really do go over and above. Whether a routine checkup or a procedure they always put the patient first, informing, educating and making you feel at ease. Reasonably priced too for a private dentist. I would highly recommend Wish to anyone and everyone!

David Evans

We’re lucky to have Wish as our dental specialist. The 6 monthly check ups with Sion ensure any possible issues are highlighted and dealt with before they’re a bigger problem. Sion is thorough, friendly and re-assuring. I enjoy the hygenist visits with Hayley, who details my teeth with great care and precision. Thanks, Mark

Mark White

Being a nervous patient I can’t recommend ‘Wish’ enough. All the staff are fantastic, so friendly and caring. Lucinda and Emilie are incredible. I have never felt so at ease with a dentist and their nurse. They genuinely care and take their time. I honestly can’t thank them enough for looking after me each time. Thank you, you have no idea the difference you make, with your big smiles and caring manner.

Alison Hall

Tom has been my dentist for some years. I have had a number of different implants prior to being a patient at Wish Dental. Due to the differing implants it has made creating implant bridges a challenge. On every occasion, Tom has come up with innovative solutions working with the dental lab to create implant bridges that look and function superbly. Thank you Tom and the team.

Karen Williams

My family have been with Wish Dental since it opened in Poynton. The staff are friendly and efficient and the hygienist is very thorough. Our dentist, Sion, is excellent and we have confidence in his care of our teeth. On the rare occasion we have needed treatment we have no problem in getting an early appointment. Overall, I have no hesitation in recommending this practice.

Diana Lines

I could not recommend Tom and his team more highly. My daughter has had ongoing issues with a tooth needing a Root Canal. Everyone went above and beyond - than you soo much we couldn't have got through it without you.

Zoe & Alice

Excellent first appointment with Wish. The staff were very polite professional and friendly. Good quality service and reasonably priced. Lucy didn’t try to sell me more services than needed and provided me with more focussed relevant information than I’ve ever had previously.

Joanna Larkin

I’m always happy to visit Hayley and her assistant for a thorough clean with such expertise in a warm and friendly environment. Over the weekend I lost a filling and dropped Wish Dental an email for an appointment. I was very grateful to be contacted first thing Monday and by the same afternoon, Hayley had sorted my tooth swiftly and perfectly; most impressed, thank you.

Elizabeth White

My first visit today and what a wonderful, friendly and helpful team at Wish Dental. I received excellent treatment and help. I have come away with a treatment plan that was explained to me and that I am delighted with. I have every confidence that I am going to receive excellent treatment and highly recommend Wish Dental.

Lesley Dawes

After not visiting the dentist for almost 2 years, I was very nervous about having 2 fillings! But all the team were very caring and Tom made sure I was comfortable and reassured me all the way through my treatments, explaining each stage! I felt so happy when I left knowing that it's done and it really wasn't that bad. I won't be leaving it 2 years again, thanks to the Wish Team!

Olivia Livissa

I can’t thank this dentist practice enough for what they are doing for me. I was involved in a car accident that knocked my front tooth out and damaged my others. Tom is restoring my teeth and giving me my confidence back. I couldn’t recommend the practice and all the staff enough.

Lauren Ellis

Wish was able to accommodate me within 24 hours of my crown cracking. Sean resolved my issue with a temporary procedure and the team was able to organise follow-on appointments for a permanent crown replacement before my upcoming holidays. Well done the Wish Team.

Danny Lee

The Wish Dental team are fabulous. I have had implants and extensive dental treatment due to an accident I had as a child. I am thrilled with the results and thanks to Tom have a confident smile. The whole team are always welcoming and make the experience a comfortable one. I would not hesitate to recommend Wish dental especially if you are considering implants.

Allyson Pilkington

Perfect service from Wish Dental. Tom and his team were amazing. Could not be more pleased with the results of extensive dental work including implants and veneers. Wish Dental are without doubt the best dentist I have ever been to, their work is second to none. There was no pain or discomfort in the entire process. I would not hesitate to recommend Wish Dental to anyone.
