Replacing Missing Teeth
We understand that missing teeth can affect more than just your smile. They can make eating and speaking more difficult and may affect your confidence.
We offer a range of options to replace missing teeth, with treatment tailored to your individual needs, oral health, and lifestyle.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It fills the gap with a replacement tooth and is supported by the teeth or dental implants next to the space.
At Zaranko Dental, we offer personalised bridge treatment to help restore your smile, improve your bite, and make eating and speaking more comfortable.
How Does a Dental Bridge Work?
A bridge usually consists of a replacement tooth, known as a pontic, which is held securely in place by supporting teeth.
The bridge is custom-made to fit your mouth and designed to blend naturally with your existing teeth.
What Are the Benefits?
A dental bridge can:
- Replace one or more missing teeth
- Restore your ability to chew comfortably
- Improve speech where missing teeth have affected it
- Help maintain the shape of your smile
- Prevent neighbouring teeth from moving into the gap
- Provide a fixed alternative to a removable denture
What Happens During Treatment?
Your dentist will first assess your teeth, gums, bite, and the area where the tooth is missing.
If a bridge is suitable for you, we will discuss the different options available. The supporting teeth may need to be prepared before impressions or digital scans are taken. These are used to create your custom-made bridge.
Once your bridge is ready, it will be carefully fitted and checked for comfort, appearance, and function.

At Zaranko Dental, we will assess your individual needs and explain your options so you can make an informed decision.
