Dental Bridges in Fraserburgh
Rediscover the power of a strong, complete smile.
Dental Bridges
Chewing discomfort, slurred speech, or hesitation to smile — missing teeth can affect more than just appearance. Over time, gaps may cause neighbouring teeth to shift, impacting alignment and oral health. Dental bridges at Fraserburgh Dental Care offer a long-term solution by filling those spaces with natural-looking, functional restorations. Crafted to match your smile, they help restore bite strength, speech clarity, and the confidence to smile without holding back.
Your Treatment Explained
Dental bridges are personalised restorations designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They typically consist of artificial teeth, known as pontics, anchored in place by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth, called abutments. The entire unit is bonded securely using dental adhesives, offering a stable and seamless fit. Whether replacing a single tooth or several, dental bridges restore chewing ability, speech, and the natural appearance of your smile. They offer a reliable, cost-effective, and visually appealing solution for long-term oral function and confidence.
Exploring Your Treatment Options
At Fraserburgh Dental Care, we provide different types of dental bridges tailored to individual needs:
- Traditional bridges: These are the most common type and involve placing a false tooth (pontic) between two crowns that are cemented onto the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Ideal for restoring one or more missing teeth.
- Cantilever bridges: Used when there’s only one healthy tooth next to the missing space. They’re particularly useful in cases where support is limited, such as replacing a front tooth.
- Maryland bonded bridges This conservative option uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth without the need for crowns. Commonly used to replace missing front teeth during smile makeovers.
The Right Candidate
Dental bridges are most suitable for individuals with one or more missing teeth who want to chew comfortably, restore their smile, and maintain facial structure. They help prevent bite issues and jawbone loss, especially when gaps appear in the front teeth. Bridges also offer a more cost-effective alternative to other tooth replacement options.
Fraserburgh Dental Care welcomes patients from Fraserburgh and nearby areas, including Peterhead, Mintlaw, Banff, Strichen, Turriff, Ellon, Stuartfield, New Deer, Rosehearty, Inverallochy, and New Pitsligo.
Why Choose Dental Bridges?
Chew and eat comfortably
Dental bridges restore proper chewing function, letting you enjoy fibrous foods without discomfort.

By filling the tooth gap, bridges prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place and disrupting your bite.

Preserve facial shape
They support cheeks and gum muscles, helping maintain a youthful facial structure after tooth loss.
Boost quality of life
Better chewing improves digestion and allows you to speak and smile freely without hesitation.
Cost-effective choice
Traditional bridges offer a more affordable solution than dental implants for replacing multiple missing teeth.

Other Treatments We Offer
Root Canal Treatment
While a simple filling can often resolve broken or decayed teeth, sometimes, when the problem has reached the pulp or nerve of the tooth, root canal treatment is necessary.
First, we will remove the damaged or infected nerve before cleansing and shaping the inner canal to prevent reinfection and then sealing fully. Once the endodontic treatment has been carried out a crown, usually gold or porcelain, may be used to cover a tooth that has a large opening after root canal therapy.
Dental Hygiene
Our experienced hygienists have a keen focus on providing first class dental hygiene to keep your teeth and gums healthy and gum disease free.
We believe that prevention is key and we will work with you to help formulate a customised oral hygiene plan to suit your mouth and lifestyle. We recommend that all of our patients attend regular hygiene appointments and dental checkups to keep their smiles healthy.
Teeth Whitening
Your smile is important. It’s one of the first things you notice when you meet someone. A whiter, brighter smile is beautiful – it can help you feel better about yourself and make a memorable impression.
Your lifestyle and the aging process can stain and darken your teeth. Many things we do on a regular basis can contribute to stained teeth, such as drinking coffee, tea, cola and red wine or smoking.
Dentures
Dentures are a removable option for replacing missing teeth. They can be particularly useful when there is extensive loss of bone support or when multiple teeth are missing. In addition to tooth replacement, dentures can also give support and structure to soft tissues of the cheek and lips, while restoring dental form and function. Our skilled dental technicians will construct the dentures in the laboratory based on our prescription.
