Replace missing teeth with a dental bridge
Dental bridges
A dental bridge fills the gap left by a missing tooth, restoring the appearance and function of your smile across just two appointments.
Dental bridges at Beacon Park Dental
Losing a tooth affects more than how your smile looks.
A dental bridge addresses the issues caused by missing teeth by filling the space with a natural-looking prosthetic tooth, anchored securely to the teeth on either side. We make bridges from tooth-coloured materials that match the shade of your surrounding teeth, resulting in fully restored appearance and function.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of a prosthetic tooth — called a pontic — held in place by crowns fitted over the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. The bridge sits permanently in your mouth and you care for it just as you would your natural teeth.
How much does a dental bridge cost?
The cost of a dental bridge depends on the number of teeth you need to replace, the materials we use, and the complexity of your case.
You’ll receive a clear, itemised quote for your treatment before we begin. If you'd like to spread the cost, we offer 0% interest finance over 3, 6, 10, or 12 months — it takes around two minutes to apply, and there are no hidden fees.

Your consultation
We'll examine the gap and the surrounding teeth, take digital scans, and confirm whether a bridge is the right option for you. We'll walk you through the procedure in full and give you a clear price before we book anything in.
Preparing and designing your bridge
We prepare the teeth on either side of the gap by reshaping them to accept the crowns that will anchor the bridge. We take a precise digital scan and send the design to our laboratory, where your bridge is custom-made, and fit a temporary bridge to protect the prepared teeth while you wait.
Fitting your bridge
When your bridge is ready, you’ll come back to the practice to have it fitted and checked. We’ll make any adjustments needed and make sure the fit and bite feel right before you leave. We'll also talk you through how to clean around your bridge to keep it in good condition.

Do I need a dental bridge?
If you have one or more missing teeth and the surrounding teeth are healthy enough to support a bridge, it's worth considering. A gap in your teeth isn't just a cosmetic issue — without something to fill it, the neighbouring teeth gradually drift into the space, your bite changes, and the jawbone beneath can begin to shrink.
A bridge is particularly suitable if the teeth on either side of the gap already need crowns, or if you're looking for a fixed, permanent solution that doesn't involve surgery.

Expertly made dental bridges from your local Lichfield team
Our dentists have been providing restorative care in Lichfield since 2008, and dental bridges are a well-established part of that work.
We use digital scanning rather than traditional impressions to design your bridge, which makes the process more comfortable and gives us a more precise fit. The result is a restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
We'll assess your teeth and talk you through all the options so you can make the right decision for your smile.
