Learn MoreA fixed, non-removable solution to missing teeth that looks and functions like your natural smile. Porcelain bridges at Dentistry 442, Wardle, Rochdale β no implant surgery required.
A dental bridge literally "bridges" a gap left by one or more missing teeth. The false tooth (called a pontic) is held in place by dental crowns cemented onto the healthy teeth on either side of the gap (the abutment teeth). The result is a fixed, permanent-feeling replacement that looks, feels and functions like natural teeth.
At Dentistry 442 in Wardle, Rochdale, we fabricate our bridges in specialist dental laboratories using all-ceramic or zirconia materials β ensuring a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. A dental bridge is a well-established, reliable treatment for replacing missing teeth without implant surgery.
A fixed bridge replaces missing teeth with a stable, non-removable restoration.
Eat, chew and speak normally with full confidence after bridge placement.
All-ceramic bridges match the shade and shape of your surrounding teeth.
Bridge treatment is typically complete in 2β3 appointments, with no surgical healing time.
Filling the gap prevents adjacent teeth from drifting and maintains facial symmetry.
Interest-free finance to help spread the cost of your bridge treatment.

With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, dental bridges at Dentistry 442, Rochdale can last 10β15 years or longer. The longevity of a bridge depends on the health of the abutment teeth and how well the bridge is maintained.
A dental implant replaces a single tooth root with a titanium post, requiring minor surgery and a 3β6 month healing period. A dental bridge requires no surgery and is faster, but relies on adjacent teeth for support and does not prevent bone loss in the jaw. We discuss both options at your consultation.
Abutment tooth preparation is carried out under local anaesthetic so there is no pain during the procedure. Some mild sensitivity afterwards is normal and resolves within a few days. Most patients find bridge treatment very straightforward.
