When this is appropriate
Conventional bridges replace one or more missing teeth using prepared supporting teeth on either side of the gap. A replacement tooth (or teeth) is fixed between the supporting teeth, restoring chewing function, comfort, and appearance.
Bridges are typically made from metal-ceramic or all-ceramic materials and are designed to provide a durable, fixed solution where appropriate.
Who this is for
At N1 Dental, conventional bridges are not usually our first-line option where neighbouring teeth are intact. They may be appropriate when:
Replacing an existing bridge that is failing, uncomfortable, or no longer functioning well
A similar bridge design has already been used and remains the most appropriate choice
Alternative options are not suitable following careful assessment
Where neighbouring teeth are largely healthy, we will often first consider alternatives such as a Tooth Kind Bridge, a comfortable denture, or a dental implant, as these may help preserve more natural tooth structure.
How conventional bridges work
Conventional bridges use specially prepared supporting teeth on either side of a gap to hold a replacement tooth or teeth in place.
At N1 Dental, they are most commonly used to replace existing bridges that are failing or in situations where a similar design remains the most appropriate choice after careful assessment.
All materials used are selected for durability, biocompatibility, and a natural appearance.
What to expect
Treatment is usually completed over two main visits.
First visit: any existing bridge is removed where present, supporting teeth are carefully prepared, and digital scans or impressions are taken before a temporary bridge is placed
Second visit: the custom bridge is fitted, bite and comfort are adjusted, and the bridge is bonded into place
Local anaesthesia is used for comfort throughout
Materials and design
Conventional bridges at N1 Dental are available in metal-free zirconia or lithium disilicate options.
Material choice is discussed based on bite forces, aesthetic needs, existing restorations, and long-term durability.
The aim is to select the most appropriate material for each individual situation, balancing strength, appearance, and tissue compatibility.
Assessment and planning
All bridge options are considered following a Biological Foundations consultation.
Assessment includes supporting teeth, bite and jaw function, gum health, and overall oral health.
Recommendations are made based on suitability, not routine.
Fees
Conventional bridges
£2,995–£4,995
Fees depend on design, materials, and complexity. Exact costs are confirmed following assessment.
If you have an older bridge that is failing or you've been advised that a bridge may need replacing, a Conventional Bridge may be appropriate.
