What Is a Dental Bridge?
A bridge "bridges" the gap where teeth are missing. It is usually made of one or more artificial teeth attached to crowns or supports that hold it securely in place, restoring your smile and helping you bite and chew.
Dental Bridges in Dubai at Our Al Rigga Clinic
A dental bridge fills a gap with a false tooth that is fixed to the teeth beside it, so you don't take it out. At our Al Rigga clinic, the dentist checks those teeth and your gums first, then confirms whether a bridge suits you and what it costs before any tooth is prepared.

Options
Types of Dental Bridges
There are several common bridge designs. The right one depends on where the gap is, the condition of the nearby teeth and your needs. Ask us which options are available for your case.
Traditional bridge
Artificial tooth held by crowns on the teeth either side of the gap.
Cantilever bridge
Supported by a crown on one side only, used in specific situations.
Maryland bridge
Held by a framework bonded to the back of neighbouring teeth.
The process
Dental Bridge Treatment Steps
- 1
Examination
The dentist checks the gap and nearby teeth, may take X-rays and explains your options.
- 2
Preparation
The supporting teeth are numbed and shaped to hold the bridge.
- 3
Impression
An impression or scan is taken so the bridge can be made.
- 4
Temporary bridge
A temporary bridge may protect the teeth while the final one is made.
- 5
Fitting
The final bridge is checked for fit and bite, then fixed in place.
The number of visits and exact steps depend on your case and are confirmed after examination.
How Long It Takes
A bridge usually takes two visits, about a week to ten days apart. At the first, the dentist prepares the supporting teeth, takes a scan or impression and fits a temporary bridge. At the second, the final bridge is checked for fit and bite and fixed in place.
If a tooth has just been taken out, the gum and bone usually need a few months to heal before the final bridge is made. The dentist confirms your plan, and what you can wear in the meantime, at the first visit.
Cost
How Your Bridge Is Priced
A bridge is priced after consultation, because it depends on how many teeth it replaces, its design and material, and the health of the teeth that will hold it. The dentist confirms the price after examining you, before any tooth is prepared. If a supporting tooth needs a filling or root canal treatment first, you're told that cost too.
What affects the cost:
- The number of teeth being replaced
- The type of bridge
- The material used
- The condition of the supporting teeth
- X-rays or other diagnostic checks

Dental Bridges — FAQs
Do the teeth next to the gap need to be healthy?
Yes. They carry the bridge, so the dentist checks them and your gums, usually with an X-ray. If one of them needs a filling or root canal treatment, that is done first.
Will the teeth on either side be reshaped?
For a traditional bridge, yes: they are shaped and covered with crowns that hold the false tooth. A bonded bridge, fixed to the back of the neighbouring teeth, needs much less shaping but only suits some gaps. The dentist explains which design fits yours.
Can I have a bridge soon after a tooth is taken out?
Usually the gum and bone are left to heal first, often for a few months, so the bridge fits well for longer. The dentist tells you how long to wait and what you can wear until then.
What will I have while my bridge is being made?
A temporary bridge covers the prepared teeth and the gap. Avoid sticky or hard food on it, and contact us if it comes loose.
How is a bridge priced at your clinic?
After consultation. The cost depends on how many teeth are replaced, the design and material, and the condition of the supporting teeth. The dentist confirms it before preparing any tooth.
Can I walk in to find out if a bridge suits me?
Yes. Walk-ins are welcome every day from 9 AM to 10 PM, and consultations are free until 31 December 2026. The dentist checks the gap and the teeth beside it and explains your options, including a partial denture.
