A conventional bridge can be used if you have natural, healthy teeth next to the space left by the missing tooth. Often crafted from porcelain, the prosthetic tooth is supported by dental crowns bonded to the adjacent teeth.

Yes - every bridge is custom-made to match your natural teeth. Eating and speaking will feel easier again, and your smile will look full and even.
What happens during treatment?
Your bridge appointment explained
You’ll usually need two visits. First, we shape the teeth next to the gap and take impressions. These are sent to our on-site dental lab for custom crafting.
A temporary bridge may be placed until your permanent one is ready.
On your second visit, we’ll check the fit and cement the final bridge in place.

Is a bridge right for you?
If you’re missing teeth and the neighbouring ones are healthy, a bridge could be the ideal solution. If your surrounding teeth have been restored previously, we’ll take that into account and talk you through your options.
What is a crown?
Crowns at a glance
A crown is a strong, custom-made cover that fits over a damaged tooth to restore its shape, strength and function. Crowns are typically made from ceramic, resin, or metal-based materials for durability and a natural appearance.

Frequently asked questions about crowns and bridges in Wellingborough
What’s the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers a single damaged tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using the support of neighbouring teeth or implants. We offer both and will help you decide what fits your situation best.
How long will they last?
With daily brushing, flossing and regular check-ups, crowns and bridges can last over a decade. We’ll monitor them during routine visits to ensure they stay in great condition.
Will it match my other teeth?
Absolutely. We work with trusted labs to ensure your crown or bridge is colour-matched and shaped to blend perfectly with your existing teeth.
Will it hurt?
Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, and most patients are surprised by how quick and painless the process is. Let us know if you feel anxious - we’re happy to take things slowly.
What if something breaks or comes loose?
If you have any issues with a crown or bridge, contact us straight away. We’ll assess and repair or replace the restoration so you can get back to smiling confidently.
