Dental bridges
A dental bridge is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Replacing missing teeth is important, as gaps can affect how you chew and speak, and may cause nearby teeth to drift into the space. This can alter your bite and increase the risk of further dental problems. A bridge can also help restore the appearance of your smile.
How is a dental bridge fitted?
Your dentist will begin by examining your teeth and jaw to see whether a bridge is the right option for you. This helps confirm that the supporting teeth are strong enough and have good bone support.
Next, an impression or scan of your mouth will be taken. This is used to create a model of your teeth and gums, allowing your dentist to see how your teeth meet and bite together.
The teeth on either side of the gap are then gently reshaped so the bridge can be fitted securely and sit comfortably in your mouth.
Your dentist will talk you through the process and make sure you understand each stage before treatment goes ahead.

How do I look after my dental bridge?
Looking after your bridge is important to keep it strong and your mouth healthy. You should:
- Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste
- Clean around the bridge daily using floss, special bridge floss, or interdental brushes
- Attend regular dental health check-ups so your dentist can monitor the bridge and supporting teeth
- Avoid biting very hard foods or ice, as this can damage the bridge
With good dental hygiene and regular dental health check-ups, a bridge can last for many years.
If you think a dental bridge may be right for you, contact Capel Dental Care in Carmarthen to book a consultation.

Clustog Upholstery
The care from both the dentist and the hygienist is fabulous. My teeth after their recent clean by Christine look like new teeth, and my mouth and gums now feel and look really healthy. I also recently had to visit for a chipped tooth and I was very pleased with the solution and treatment from the dentist Dr Stephan. They are both so friendly and professional, as are everyone at the practice. I am really glad to be a patient at Capel Dental.
Kay Thomas
Fantastic atmosphere. I have a huge phobia of dentists and apart from an emergency at another dentist, I hadn't been for 40 years. The staff were very friendly and I felt at ease, the dentist explained everything in detail and I would recommend this dentist and the practice highly to anyone looking for a dentist .
