I have always been scared of the dentist that is until I came to Dentael. The staff are so understanding and supportive and made me feel so at ease. Everything is explained clearly and there is no pressure. Thank you to the team for being so lovely.

Adhesive bridges — a conservative, affordable way to replace a missing tooth
Replace Missing Tooth with a Dental Adhesive Bridge
A missing tooth, especially a front tooth, can significantly affect your appearance and your ability to talk and eat normally. Tooth replacement options include a denture, an adhesive bridge or a dental implant.
Many patients prefer to avoid dentures because they want a fixed tooth that stays in place. They also wish to avoid the surgery, lengthy treatment time and higher costs associated with dental implants. In these cases, an adhesive bridge may be an excellent solution.
Before and After Photos of Adhesive Bridge
What is an Adhesive Bridge?
An adhesive bridge is a false tooth that is fixed to a neighbouring natural tooth. It is usually made of porcelain bonded to metal, with a thin metal wing that is bonded to the inside surface of the natural tooth next to the gap. Adhesive bridges are also known as resin-bonded bridges or Maryland bridges. They are a conservative, minimally invasive treatment option for replacing a missing tooth.
What is the Procedure for Placing an Adhesive Bridge?
The first step is a consultation and x-rays to confirm that an adhesive bridge is suitable for you. Treatment usually takes two visits, approximately two weeks apart.
At the first visit, a mould impression is taken and sent to the dental laboratory, and a dental shade is taken to match the colour of your natural teeth. At the second visit, the bridge is fitted by bonding it securely in place.
