A Few Missing Teeth
Dental Implant Bridges are one of the most lifelike and natural-looking solutions out there for replacing a few missing teeth. The teeth are porcelain which fit over a metal structure inside the mouth. This gives a secure and realistic solution.
They can be used for anything from 2 teeth to a whole jaw, but the real benefit is that because of the ‘bridge’, fewer implants need to be used. Not only does this mean better surgery for you, it also makes it more cost-effective for what you receive.
It can even be as little as 2 implants for 4 teeth. The historical alternative are traditional dental bridges which do have their downsides.
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges have been around for 100 years. Until dental implants came along dental bridges were considered the gold standard treatment for the replacement of single teeth or a number of teeth. Bridges require some sound teeth to attach to – usually either side of a gap.
Advantages of bridges
- Can achieve excellent aesthetic results
- Long lived (10 years possible)
- Feel like real teeth
- Quick – bridges can be completed in 2 weeks
- Stay put and don’t move around
- Fixed in place (not removable like dentures)
- Less expensive than implants
Disadvantages
- Require solid teeth to fix to
- Bridge support teeth have to be drilled down to make room for the bridge-bridge support teeth will often fail in the long term because of the extra strain on them (5 yrs +)
- Not suitable for replacing more than 2 teeth in a row
- Not possible if large number of teeth are missing
- Not possible if teeth missing do not have a solid tooth behind them to act as a back bridge support
- More expensive than dentures
Cost from £2,900 – We also provide temporary Bridges which cost from £386

Free Consultation
Without seeing things for ourselves, we can’t tell people what their options are.
And so with that in mind, we are happy to offer free consultations, as this is a big decision for most people. We are careful to take budget, comfort and appearance into account when explaining all the available choices and there is never any pressure to proceed, and certainly not on the day.
We set out to be a friendly practice and try to provide everybody with what’s right for them, at an affordable cost. We hope our dentist reviews give that impression.

What they say about us
I would 1000% recommend winning smiles
Decided 2 years after first consultation to get my bridges removed as they were loose damaged and looked awful.
Andrew Fennell and sam were wonderful from the off. And very 1st consultation.
Andrew put me at ease, and made me feel that no question I had couldn’t be answered.
Through a lot of surgery, bone grafts, stitches and teeth removal, over a period of months, andrew and sam were always helpful, professional, and always made sure I was coping well and comfortable.
I now am able to laugh and smile again without covering my mouth anymore and my confidence is returning.
I would 1000% recommend winning smiles
All the staff are wonderful and helpful and friendly.
Nothing is too much trouble either.
All through lockdown, I still had treatment, everything was very clean, hygienic , and was totally covid secure.
Can’t thank Andrew enough.
I didn’t look at any reviews, but went on my own personal experience of meeting Andrew, as he was recommended to me by my regular dentist for the work I needed doing.
Can honestly say the recommendation and my own gut feeling was spot on.
Thank you Andrew. You are simply wonderful and top at what you do.
Would recommend to anyone, with any fears to see Andrew, it will change your life.
Thank you all

Can’t emphasise the improvement in my appearance
I was recommended winning smiles by a friend of mine after a previous bad experience with another dentist.
I met Andrew for a consultation at the end of may and knew instantly he was a very decent human being but more importantly a very good dentist. During my initial appointment he explained both thoroughly and simply every stage of my treatment. Now just four months later I have a full set of upper jaw implants and two single implants on my lower jaw. I just cannot emphasis the improvement in my appearance and ability to eat everything.
Finally I just want to stress how painless the whole procedure was and have no hesitation in recommending Andrew and all the other helpful members of staff.
Thanks for everything
