Bridge Your Gap to a Complete Smile

Missing teeth affect more than your appearance – they impact your ability to eat, speak, and maintain proper dental alignment. A dental bridge offers a proven, reliable solution to restore your smile and dental function. At Empire Dental Clinic, our expert prosthodontists create custom bridges using premium materials for lasting results.

Our Bridge Options

Traditional Bridges

The most common type, traditional bridges use crowns on adjacent natural teeth to support one or more replacement teeth (pontics). Available in metal-ceramic or full zirconia for superior aesthetics and durability.

Zirconia Bridges

Our premium choice for visible areas. Zirconia bridges offer exceptional strength, natural translucency, and excellent biocompatibility. They resist staining and chipping better than traditional options.

Metal-Ceramic Bridges

A cost-effective option combining metal strength with ceramic aesthetics. Ideal for back teeth where biting forces are greatest. Features a metal framework with porcelain overlay.

One Connected Piece

A dental bridge is a single piece of porcelain with crowns on each end and a false tooth in the middle — cemented permanently to fill the gap and restore your complete smile.

The Bridge Procedure

Visit 1: Preparation

Your dentist prepares the anchor teeth by removing a portion of enamel to make room for crowns. Detailed impressions are taken and sent to our laboratory. A temporary bridge protects your teeth while your permanent bridge is crafted.

Visit 2: Fitting

Your custom bridge is carefully checked for fit, bite, and colour match. Once perfect, it is permanently cemented in place. Minor adjustments ensure complete comfort.

Bridge vs Implant: Which is Right for You?

Bridges are ideal when adjacent teeth need crowns anyway, when faster treatment is preferred, or when bone density is insufficient for implants. Implants may be better for preserving healthy adjacent teeth or replacing multiple teeth independently. Our team will recommend the best option for your specific situation.

I had a great experience with Empire Clinic. I recently had two root canal treatments (RCTs) done there, and I was very impressed with the professionalism of the team. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made me feel comfortable throughout the process.
The treatment was carried out to a high standard, and the pricing was very reasonable compared to other clinics I contacted. Everything was explained clearly, and the care I received was excellent from start to finish.
I would highly recommend Empire Clinic to anyone looking for professional dental care in Dublin

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap.

How many teeth can a bridge replace?

A traditional bridge can replace one to three missing teeth. For longer spans, implant-supported bridges may be recommended for better stability and longevity.

What types of bridges are available?

We offer traditional bridges anchored to natural teeth, cantilever bridges for specific situations, Maryland bridges with minimal preparation, and implant-supported bridges for maximum stability.

How long does a dental bridge last?

With proper care, dental bridges typically last 10-15 years. Zirconia bridges are especially durable. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene extend their lifespan significantly.

Do I need to prepare my adjacent teeth for a bridge?

Yes, traditional bridges require reshaping the adjacent teeth to support crowns. Implant bridges avoid this, preserving your natural teeth completely.
