This review was long overdue but I had my 2 implants done at NW1 Dental Care in 2019 and im really happy with the results. I was anxious about the treatment but it was all painless and Dr Anima and the reception team were very understanding and kind throughout. Dr Anima is clearly very skilled and does an excellent job, their prices are very reasonable so with all that in mind I don’t hesitate to recommend them. Now I am sending my daughter there for Invisalign. Thank you guys for such an amazing smile !!
Dental Bridges
Dental Bridges in Camden, London
Do you want to fill the gap left by missing teeth? Gaps can lead to poor appearance and may also affect your speech, eating and limit the food you may consume. Dental bridge is one popular way to solve this problem.
A dental bridge is a custom-made appliance made of false teeth that are placed over a natural tooth or dental implants to cover it and bridge the adjacent gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and is attached to false teeth (pontics), bridging the gap. Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years with proper care and maintenance, however, they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.
At NW1 Dental Care, our dentists are highly experienced and have helped many patients in Camden or from other parts of London to help them restore their smile and help teeth function properly. Our team will examine your case and will discuss the best options for your particular case.
Reasons For Getting Dental Bridge:
- Fill space of missing teeth
- Maintain facial shape
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
- Restore chewing and speaking ability
- Restore your smile
- Upgrade from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental appliance
Types of Dental Bridge
At NW1 Dental Care, we offer four kinds of dental bridge options to all our patients in London. Your dentist will advise you on which type of dental bridge is best, depending upon your requirements.
Traditional Fixed Dental Bridge
These can be used to replace one or more missing teeth when you have natural teeth on both sides of the gap created by your missing tooth. This is where the “false tooth” is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill the gap left by a missing tooth. There are two crowns holding it in place attached to your teeth on either side of the false tooth.
Cantilever Dental Bridge
These are used in sections of your mouth that are under less stress like the front teeth. This is where the “false tooth” is only supported on one side. It has the same aesthetic result but benefits from fewer teeth required to be treated
Maryland Dental Bridge / Resin Bonded Dental Bridge
These are considered a conservative alternative to traditional dental bridges and are used almost always used for front teeth. The main advantage is this type of dental bridge is that your healthy tooth on each requires no or minimal preparation. In this, the “false tooth” is fused ceramic ‘wings’ that are bonded firmly to the abutment teeth with a resin. The wings are hidden from view so only the porcelain is visible that appears just like a natural tooth.
Implant-Supported Dental bridges
Implants are the modern and more effective way to restore missing teeth. Dental Implant is placed in the patient’s jaw and restored with a crown. However, when you have more than one tooth missing, then an implant-supported bridge may be used. Even if you don’t have any teeth in one or both jaws and require full-mouth restoration then dental implants can be placed and then restore with an implant-supported bridge.
Procedure for Dental Bridge
- The dentist will do a thorough examination of your teeth and take x-rays to ensure that the tooth or teeth roots are healthy
- Getting a bridge usually requires two or more visits depending on the case
- At first, the two anchoring teeth are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to allow for a crown, and then a digital impression will be taken with an iTero scanner which avoids the need for the traditional impression method. The digital image is sent to the laboratory where the bridge will be fabricated. Meanwhile, a temporary restoration is provided.
- At the second visit, your permanent bridge will be carefully checked, adjusted, and cemented to achieve a proper fit. Occasionally your dentist may only temporarily cement the bridge, allowing your teeth and tissue time to get used to the new bridge. The new bridge will be permanently cemented at a later time. You will receive care instructions at the conclusion of the procedure. Proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new dental bridge.
FAQs
The cost of a dental bridge depends on the quality of the crown used and the number of crowns that are on the crown.
Our prices are very reasonable compared to other clinics in Camden and London and start from £600 per unit.
Dental bridges can last for 5 – 7 years or even more when it is fitted by an experienced dentist. If you maintain good oral hygiene and see your dentist regularly then the dental bridge can last for more than 10 years.
Advantages :
- Can replace one or more teeth
- Less invasive as no or minimal drilling of the abutment tooth is necessary
- It is a cost-effective option
Disadvantages :
- They are not as effective or can’t support the jaw like dental implants
- There is a higher de-bonding rate as they only rely on the cement strength
Missing teeth can be restored with dental implants or dentures as well.
Testimonials
First Class practice who helped me with implants. I would highly recommend them. Thank you for help, support and advice. Splendid Service!
Best dentist experience!
I am usually very anxious when going to the dentist but doctor Ioana made me feel at ease and comfortable at all times. She takes time explaining every procedure and makes sure it is all painless. All staff are kind and professional! I highly recommend this practice.
Really happy with the service received today! All staff were very accommodating, from my initial phone call to when I left the building Dr. Diana was especially insightful and helpful and my teeth look and better than they have for years. I highly recommend, and I’ll be definitely going back 🙂
Had an absolutely amazing experience at NW1 Dental care, I hadn’t had a professional clean in years and had let my teeth get into quite a state. I had been very anxious about seeing a dentist after having bad experiences in the past but I bit the bullet after seeing an ad for NW1 on instagram then reading some positive reviews. My dentist Ioanna was lovely and chatty and talked me through everything, gave me an immaculate clean and offered some advice on products and methods for keeping better care of my teeth all without condescension. It was more like being at a spa than being at the dentist, I had never had such a positive experience with a dentist before. 100% would recommend.
I came here after my friend who visits this practice regularly recommended me to come. She had said that the atmosphere was super friendly and the work would be really professional. She was not wrong. My implant journey experience has been flawless. I am so happy with the result and how the team worked together to get me back the smile I thought could never have. Thank you again for giving me back the confidence that I had lost over the years and I hope this helps recommend more people to come in and get the smile they deserve.
Great! Amazing and friendly staff, 10/10 recommend!

I have now visited the Practice again, and Have seen another dentist for teeth whitening, and I can say that the service runs across the board. I cannot recommend this dentist enough, they treat every customer the same, from the dentist, to the nurses, and receptionists…. I am extremely impressed. Thank you so much once again. I have visited several practices throughout London and can honestly say this is the best dentist I have ever been to.
All measures have been taken to make attending appointments as safe as possible, which has allowed me to get issues fixed before they get worse. All the staff are friendly and I love my dentist (Dr Hudda). I am also impressed because a few years ago, my mother was visiting and she broke a tooth and within an hour of it breaking, they fit her in and fixed it.
