Types of Fixed Bridge at Smilewell Dental
- Maryland bridge – A replacement tooth attached to a thin wing that is bonded to the back of a neighbouring tooth. It usually needs little preparation of the supporting tooth.
- Nano-ceramic bridge – A tooth-coloured bridge attached to the teeth on either side of the gap.

Your dentist will recommend a type of bridge based on the position of the gap, the health of the neighbouring teeth and your bite.
The Smilewell Fixed Bridge Journey
Free Consultation
Your dentist assesses the gap, talks through your goals and discusses which type of bridge may be suitable for you.
Preparation
The supporting teeth are prepared to hold your bridge, with local anaesthetic used for your comfort. Maryland bridges usually need little preparation.
Impressions and Temporary Bridge
Impressions are taken so your bridge can be made in our on-site laboratory, and a temporary bridge can be fitted in the meantime where needed.
Final Fitting
Your bridge is checked for fit and bite, then fixed into place.

Is a Fixed Dental Bridge Right for You?
A fixed dental bridge may be suitable if you are missing one or more teeth and have healthy teeth next to the gap. Conventional bridges involve removing some enamel from the supporting teeth, while Maryland bridges usually need less preparation. Your dentist will discuss this, along with alternatives such as an implant-supported bridge or a single dental implant, so you can choose a treatment that suits your smile and lifestyle.

How much does a dental bridge cost in Borehamwood?
At Smilewell Dental, Maryland and nano-ceramic bridges are £350 and zirconia bridges are £800. Your dentist will confirm the total for your bridge, based on its design, in your treatment plan.
What is a Maryland bridge?
A Maryland bridge is a replacement tooth attached to a thin wing that is bonded to the back of a neighbouring tooth. It usually needs little preparation of the supporting tooth and is often used to replace a single front tooth.
How long does a fixed dental bridge last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, a fixed bridge can last many years.
Is treatment comfortable?
Local anaesthetic is used during preparation, and our team will explain each stage so you know what to expect.
Do the supporting teeth need to be prepared?
For conventional bridges, the teeth next to the gap are reshaped so they can hold the bridge. Maryland bridges usually need much less preparation. Your dentist will discuss this before treatment.
How do I care for my bridge?
Brush as you would your natural teeth, and use interdental brushes or special floss to keep the area beneath the bridge clean.
What is the difference between a fixed bridge and an implant-supported bridge?
A fixed bridge is anchored to your natural teeth next to the gap, while an implant-supported bridge is anchored to dental implants. Your dentist will help you decide which suits you.
