Dental bridges in Sheffield and Manchester
Fixed, natural-looking and built to last. Replace missing teeth with a custom-made bridge that restores your bite, speech and confidence. Planned carefully to protect your remaining teeth.
Expert-led dental bridges for a natural, comfortable fit
Every bridge begins with a careful assessment. Your treatment is guided by:
✔ The health of the teeth and gums on either side of the gap
✔ Your bite and the forces on your teeth
✔ The size and position of the gap
✔ Shade, shape and appearance, so the result blends in
A bridge is one of several ways to replace a missing tooth. We'll always explain the alternatives, including implants and dentures, so you can choose with confidence.
What is a dental bridge and how can it restore your smile?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that "bridges" the gap left by a missing tooth. It typically consists of one or more artificial teeth supported by adjacent natural teeth or crowns. Unlike removable dentures, a bridge is fixed in place and can't be taken out. It's custom-made to match the shape, size and colour of your natural teeth.
At Harley Private, our approach prioritises natural appearance, comfortable function and long-term oral health.

Your complete solution: dental bridges
Replacing a missing tooth matters for more than appearance. Gaps can affect chewing, speech and the position of neighbouring teeth, which can drift into the space over time. A bridge restores function and appearance, helps keep your remaining teeth in place and supports your overall oral health.
Types of dental bridges
Your dentist will recommend the most suitable type for your mouth:
Traditional bridges are supported by crowns on the neighbouring teeth.
Cantilever bridges are supported on one side only, and are used in specific cases.
Resin-bonded bridges are often used to replace front teeth with minimal tooth preparation.
Best suited for: one or more missing teeth, healthy teeth or restorations on either side of the gap, and patients who want a fixed, non-removable solution and maintain good oral hygiene.

Frequently asked questions
These frequently asked questions are designed to give clear, honest information about dental bridges. If you have further questions, we can discuss them in detail at your consultation.
Is a dental bridge right for me?
Bridges are one of several options for replacing missing teeth. A consultation lets us assess your needs, explain the benefits and limitations and help you decide whether a bridge or another treatment is most appropriate.
How much does a dental bridge cost?
Ceramic bridges at Harley Private start from £1,850, and implant-supported bridges from £3,995. The final fee depends on the type of bridge and the number of teeth, and we confirm it before treatment begins.
How long do dental bridges last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, bridges can last many years. Longevity depends on bite forces, gum health and how well the bridge is maintained.
Are dental bridges painful?
The procedure is usually comfortable and carried out with local anaesthetic where needed. Some mild sensitivity may occur afterwards, which typically settles quickly.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment is usually carried out over two or more appointments, including assessment, preparation and fitting. A temporary bridge may be placed while your final bridge is made.
Does a bridge damage the neighbouring teeth?
A traditional bridge needs the supporting teeth to be reshaped so crowns can fit over them, which removes some natural tooth. Resin-bonded bridges need much less preparation, and implants don't rely on neighbouring teeth at all. Your dentist will explain what's involved before you decide.
How is a dental bridge different from a dental implant?
A bridge relies on neighbouring teeth for support, while an implant is supported by the jawbone. Each has advantages, and the right choice depends on your individual circumstances.
Can I eat normally with a bridge?
Yes, once treatment is complete. We'll advise you on any foods to avoid while you have a temporary bridge.
