Southampton
Missing teeth can make eating and speaking more difficult, and impact your confidence. A custom dental bridge from Oakley Road Dental Practice fills the gap with a natural-looking replacement, helping restore both your smile and your bite.

Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed solution used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) anchored in place using the natural teeth on either side of the gap.
Not only does a bridge restore function and improve appearance, but it also prevents remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
Types of…
DENTAL Bridges
we offer
1. Fixed Bridge
The most common type. The replacement tooth is attached to crowns on one or both sides, which are fitted over the neighbouring teeth for strong, stable support.
2. Maryland Bridge
This uses a more conservative method by bonding the replacement tooth to the back of one adjacent tooth with a metal or ceramic wing, often used for front teeth with minimal biting force.
