A missing tooth no longer has to be an issue when it can be beautifully replaced by a dental bridge to secure your remaining teeth and repair the functionality of your smile and bite.
What is a dental bridge?
It is a tooth replacement method that involves filling a gap between your teeth, joining them together with a ‘bridge’. It requires at least one strong adjacent tooth to securely support the dental bridge. This restorative solution can provide you with a natural-looking smile as the bespoke bridges are made to match the colour of your natural teeth.
Why is it important to replace a missing tooth?
Gaps in your teeth can be more than just a cosmetic imperfection as they can cause other dental issues. Replacing a missing tooth can help you avoid unwanted speech difficulties, gum disease, shifting of the remaining teeth, as well as the deterioration of your jawbone.
How are dental bridges fitted?
Before the treatment, we will take impressions of your teeth in order to create your bespoke dental bridge. It can be made to match the colour of your natural teeth to repair your smile without anyone noticing the artificial restoration. Once your custom bridge is ready, we will fit and secure it to your natural teeth adjoining the gap.
A dental bridge can last you for several years if your oral health and hygiene are maintained well. Regular dental examinations and visits to Lenham Dental may prolong the longevity of your smile.

My wife & I visited the hygienists Justyna & Davinia today. As always they were friendly and professional and put you at your ease. Great job too, teeth look and feel much better.
LOVE MY NEW SMILE!!!I recently made the decision to try the teeth whitening treatment as I've never been happy with my smile due to teeth discoloration. I can't express enough how happy I am with my smile now. It's given me confidence in bucket loads to smile!!! It's such a simple procedure to have and the results are AMAZING!!! And you can pay in affordable monthly installments which again was quick & easy to set up through a link sent to my email. If you're not happy with your smile then I highly recommend you do it. And a huge thank you to Chan who reassured me it would be worth doing 😁
I recently had my very first appointment at Lenham Dental Practice. I was very nervous in going but upon arrival I felt welcome and calm. The two ladies I saw were very attentive, informative and just lovely, they both made me feel very comfortable throughout my appointment. If anybody is thinking of giving this practice a go, I definitely recommend that you do!
I have been with Lenham Dental Surgery for a few years. I have encountered everyone in the practice to be professional efficient, and give excellent advice. I have had bad dental experiences in the past but everything within this surgery has been a revelation. It is so nice to be treated as a person, not just a number, which is rare these days.
Went to Lenham Dental Surgery after an appointment elsewhere where I was made to feel really upset regarding the health of my teeth. I went for a second opinion and came out with a much more positive outlook. The care and support given by Kate and in fact everyone I had contact with was excellent so although I was looking for an NHS dentist I feel more confident and comfortable at Lenham Dental. Thank you everyone
My first visit today and I'm so pleased I tried this dentist out! Everyone has been lovely and really felt as ease and in good hands here. Thank you.Must be good as I'm coming back tomorrow
I had my first appointment today and was very pleasantly surprised at how at ease I felt from the receptionist to the lovely dentist Abi.I was given an in-depth plan of what needs to be done and was told that I can decide what I feel comfortable with and when I'm ready to receive treatment. There was no pressure. I certainly, even though it was my first appointment, that I would recommend this practice.
My wife Lorraine and myself visit this dentist and would highly recommend them to all age groups. My wife is very nervous and they always make her feel at ease and very relaxed. Every member of staff here are very kind and considerate 😊
I had my first tooth extraction today with Eddy. Very very nervous and anxious about dentist so started off with a cry but was calmed down immediately by everyone that works there. The receptionists are absolutely amazing and so lovely. Eddy got my wisdom tooth out in under 2 minutes! Couldn’t believe it. All staff amazing, If you are anxious about going to a dentist, I recommend this one. They take extra good care of you. Thank you all and Chan- so relieved now x
The team were really nice and made the whole experience quite comfortable. Chandni explained everything really well as I went in for a root canal and filling. She was very professional in her work and suggested preventative methods for my dental issues.
Having feared the dentist all my life I took the step of contacting Lenham Dental Surgery. They have all been just lovely. From Reception, to the nurses, to my dentist - amazing. Kate has reinstated my faith. She has been so reassuring and kind, not to mention thorough - so so grateful
This was my first visit to the surgery, and my dentist was named Kate, her warmth and kindness and patience was superb. I’m a older client and she laughed at all my silly jokes and treating me with absolute respect which nowadays is can be unusual in the health care sector in treatment to older people she was superb. I hope we get some decorating by my next visit in six months.Thank you Kate
I’ve been a patient at Lenham as have my family for many years experiencing the best dental care you can ask for and after having three crowns recently fitted I can once again say how fantastic the service is, more of a family environment from the reception team to the dental surgeons! So pleased with every element of service and treatment I simply cannot think of a better place to have as a dentist! Thank you Lenham!
Absolutely fantastic dental surgery, everyone is so kind and welcoming. Sarita in particular is an outstanding dentist and has been so supportive following the dental trauma I suffered as a result of a recent accident. She has been compassionate, responsive and quick to refer me to get the specialist treatment I need from Kings Hospital to aid my recovery. I cannot thank her enough, she’s amazing. I’d highly recommend this dental surgery.
Excellent service. My front teeth were beginning to chip so as a preventative measure Chan suggested capping by 6 front teeth. The result was excellent and after about 4 years have had no trouble whatsoever. I would highly recommend this surgery.David Anderson
What an amazing Dental Surgery!As a new patient, I couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome.The girls on reception were so friendly, happy & helpful and Kate the actual Dentist was just perfect.The whole experience was 1st class and I could not recommend them more!It was more like chatting to friends than going to the Dentist! 😊

10/10 experience, my dentist Sarita was very kind and put me at ease. She always checked if I was comfortable throughout the procedure and explained to me step by step about the procedure. On top of that she is clearly very knowledgeable about oral health and gave me great advise on how to improve and maintain my teeth. Will most definitely be back!! 👍
