At Spencer Road Dental in Coventry, West Midlands, we understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your confidence and overall oral health. That’s why we offer expertly crafted dental bridges as a reliable solution to restore your smile and improve your quality of life. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing high-quality dental care, ensuring that every patient receives personalized treatment tailored to their specific needs.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are a popular and effective method for replacing one or more missing teeth. As the name suggests, a dental bridge “bridges” the gap left by a missing tooth, using adjacent teeth as anchors. This prosthetic device is custom-made to fit comfortably and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits.
The structure of a dental bridge typically includes two or more crowns placed on the abutment teeth (the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap) and a false tooth or teeth (called pontics) in between. The materials used for dental bridges can vary, with options including porcelain, ceramic, or a combination of materials that mimic the appearance of natural teeth.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
At Spencer Road Dental, we believe that restoring your smile should also restore your confidence. Our Dental bridges in Coventry, West Midlands, offer a range of benefits that make them an excellent choice for many patients dealing with tooth loss:
Improved Appearance: Dental bridges fill the gap left by missing teeth, giving you a complete, natural-looking smile. This not only enhances your appearance but also helps to maintain the shape of your face, which can be affected by tooth loss.
Restored Functionality: Missing teeth can make it difficult to chew and speak properly. Dental bridges restore your ability to eat a wide variety of foods and speak clearly, improving your overall quality of life.
Prevention of Tooth Shifting: When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth may shift into the empty space, leading to misalignment and potential bite issues. A dental bridge prevents this by maintaining the proper alignment of your remaining teeth.
Durability: With proper care, dental bridges can last many years, making them a long-lasting solution for missing teeth. At Spencer Road Dental, we use high-quality materials to ensure that your bridge is both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
The Dental Bridge Procedure
The process of getting a dental bridge at Spencer Road Dental typically involves a few visits to our Coventry clinic. During your initial consultation at Spencer Road Dental, our skilled dentists will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health, including taking impressions and X-rays to determine the best course of treatment.
Preparation: The abutment teeth on either side of the gap will be prepared by reshaping them to accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge in place. If necessary, we may recommend dental implants as a more secure anchor for the bridge.
Impressions and Temporary Bridge: Once the abutment teeth are prepared, we will take impressions of your teeth, which will be used to create your custom bridge. A temporary bridge may be placed to protect your teeth and gums while your permanent bridge is being made.
Fitting the Permanent Bridge: On your next visit, the permanent bridge will be fitted and adjusted for comfort and proper bite. Our dentist will ensure that the bridge fits seamlessly and comfortably in your mouth before cementing it in place.
Final Adjustments: After the bridge is cemented, we will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit. Follow-up appointments may be scheduled to monitor your progress and ensure the bridge is functioning as intended.

The missing link to replacing teeth when they are lost or broken.
Bridges are just that – the missing link to replace teeth when they are lost and offer a permanent solution for a missing tooth or teeth. The bridge is held in place by the teeth on either side of the area to be treated – hence the bridge.
Very often, the two anchor teeth, one on each side, need to have crowns fixed onto them to give them additional strength. The two crowns are then joined together by placing the false tooth or teeth between them and cementing them in place. This is known as a fixed bridge.
Creating a fixed bridge is usually a good option if the teeth on either side are strong enough to support the bridge, are already crowned, or have had large fillings. The bridge and crowns are made to match the remaining teeth, so they are difficult to detect.
Excellent ,very thorough and very professional Dental Surgery. Highly recommend for day to day Dental needs and Implants. Doctor Arshad, Saleh and all the pleasant staff are so helpful and cheerful. Implants might sound expensive as compared to the foreign countries but they are well worth it. The surgery is equipped with latest technology. I have really been impressed.
I can’t even put into words how lovely Dr Arshad Mahmood is! Himself and his team are truly wonderful!I’m an extremely nervous patient and he talked me through everything making me feel incredibly relaxed and I instantly knew I would never use another dentist again.Just wish I could give more than 5 stars
Dr Arshad and his team are very professional. Throughout my recent implant procedure he was informative, reassuring taking great care and with attention to detail. I am really happy and impressed with the finished results. Would recommend without hesitation.
Tahla was incredible—made me feel completely at ease and was so compassionate. This dental surgery has truly changed my perspective, and I no longer have any fear of visiting the dentist!
This is an excellent dental surgery and been a game changer for my teeth and oral health. I always had 'bad teeth' or so I thought but with regular check ups with Dr. Arshad and the team, and implementing changes he advised, I haven't had as much as a filling in years. Special thanks to the very kind and patient hygienist :)

Professionalism feels in everything Dr. Arshad and his team do in the dental office. The atmosphere is welcoming, calm and friendly. The entire staff is supportive, reassuring and very helpful. All my dental problems were solved with great skills, attention to details and patience. I am truly satisfied and would definitely recommend this place!
I have been very pleased with my tooth guard for many years. It was made as small as possible and so is very comfortable to wear each night. I have never missed a night of wearing it and now associate the tooth guard with sleep. The damage that was being done to my teeth through grinding stopped once I started wearing the guard.I am a very satisfied customer.Thank you
I find that I am in the care of professional dentists. I have regular check ups and any issues are quickly dealt with. Advice regarding oral hygiene is particularly valuable. Denplan meets my needs.
I have been going to Dr Mahmood since my previous dentist retired. I am so glad I did, he is very nice, gentle and patient. The practice itself has some great technology my previous private dentist did not have and because of this it made the removal of my tooth much less difficult than it could have been. The implant I had fitted was totally painless, the whole procedure was great and I was fully informed. He also went above and beyond for me to get another crown for an implant done at my previous dentist. In addition to this the dental nurse is also very gentle, I have previously had the suction used quite roughly in my mouth but not here which I really appreciate. Thank you!
Was made very welcome on arrival - lets face it who can honestly say they like the dentist. The dentist is very thorough and I truly feel like he cares about my teeth - would highly recommend this practice and Denplan which allows you to get the service to care for your teeth but pay monthly.
I am so impressed with the care, consideration and skill I experienced recently having a front tooth crowned. I was extremely anxious about the procedure having had painful and uncomfortable experiences in the past. However, Dr Mahmood was very reassuring, explained the stages of treatment and administered an anaesthetic gel prior to the injections which made a huge difference. There was no pain at any stage and I was finally fitted with a crown which looks better than my original tooth. I couldn't be more delighted with the outcome or recommend the practice more highly.
Spencer road dentist surgery is one of the most friendly and reliable dentists I have visited. After hating going to the dentist for years because of past experiences, the dentists and the dental nurses did an amazing job at making you feel safe and welcome. The first appointment was very informative and the dentist described the whole process and answered any questions or worries I had . The surgery went amazingly well and I felt little to no pain during the surgery. The whole time they made sure to check if I was ok and were telling me exactly what was happening which helped calm my nerves. The after care was great, the dentist gave me a helpful guide and instructions on how to make sure the healing surgery was quick and successful. The instruction guide was very helpful and as long as you stick to it the healing time is very quick. I will be coming back to Spencer road as my full time surgery from now on and will be getting regularly check ups. Thankyou to the dentists and the dental nurses for all of there help and care.
Fantastic practice. I would highly recommend this dental practice to anyone. Professional, highly skilled and supports any anxieties you may have in an empathetic and caring manner. Excellent
Excellent visits to surgery so far have had two roots taken out and two implants really really very comfortable with surgery done very quickly amazingly well given every advice possible on after care antibiotics and mouth washed very very please thankyou doctor Arshad he is very accomplished surgeon with wealth of experienceReally at ease with him thankyou sir I take my hat off to u brilliant
Brilliant dentist, repaired a chipped veneer at front of teeth, and it was amazing . Couldn’t tell the difference at all, used a white filling. Very good and experienced in dental implants too. I would highly recommend him and his team for dental work/ surgery.
I had a wisdom tooth removed. Dr Arshad Mahmood is a highly qualified dental surgeon. The removal went extremely well with no complications. In fact, so well, i haven't had any post op pain. Highly recommended
From being an extremely nervous person who had only seen a dentist twice in ten years, I now actually look forward to going to appointments. This is an exemplary practice, which takes its patients' needs and dental health seriously, as shown in the empathy and kindness of all staff and in the professional expertise of the dentist who explains everything in clear but never patronising terms and clarifies all options. In my 12 months of being a patient, I have always been treated and responded to as an individual - I've also witnessed this as a consistent approach to other patients. It hasn't surprised me that some of these travel from other areas to the surgery, presumably because of the nature of the practice.Knowing my reluctance to see dentists, a friend recommended 8 Spencer Road - aware of the difference the surgery has made to me and the health of my teeth, I would not hesitate to recommend it. Nothing seems too much trouble for this team.
Friendly attentive and thorough dental check following implant. Good advice given for optimum dental health going forward. Very satisfied with treatment received.
Like most people I am nervous of going to the dentist but I can honestly say I was made to feel very calm and relaxed on my first visit this week, the waiting room is light airy and cheerful as is the receptionist. It's such a relief to find this place
Dr. Arshad is an outstanding dentist, especially when it comes to dental implants. I recently had a dental implant procedure with him, and I am thrilled with the results. His expertise and attention to detail are exceptional. From start to finish, he explained the process thoroughly, ensuring my comfort and understanding. The dental implant he placed feels and functions just like a natural tooth.I highly recommend Dr. Arshad for his exceptional work with dental implants. His skill and commitment to patient satisfaction are truly commendable.
Excellent dental practice: calm and reassuring dentist who explains every step of the treatment. I was a very nervous patient and had some previous bad experiences at my previous practice, so I am delighted with the Spencer Clinic. All my fears of the dental chair have gone away. Thank you!
I would like to share my impressions of my visit to Spencer Road Dental Centre.I went very worried due to the fact that I don't speak English well. This has always worried me about visiting specialty establishments. But I was pleasantly surprised from the moment I was greeted at the reception. I was received very kindly. I got the first available review appointment within 3 days. The examination was extremely professional by the doctor. He thoroughly examined the condition of my teeth. He found two more problem teeth besides the one I went for. The problems were fixed on the first review. Everything went very professionally. The doctor was very nice and attentive, he reassured me about my concerns due to my language barrier. I did not experience any pain during the construction of two fillings. The next day I visited the tooth extraction center again. The first pleasant thing I experienced is that the doctor greeted me by a name that is difficult for English speakers to pronounce. Again kind and attentive treatment from the doctor. Everything went painlessly and instructions for the post-operative procedure. Next up is a third final visit to have my teeth cleaned.I want to express my gratitude to the whole team for their good attitude and professionalism. I recommend using their services!Thanks!And I apologize for the long post and if I made mistakes! Good luck to the team and wishes for many satisfied patients!Sincerely,Petya Encheva
Both dentist and hygienist were so lovely. I took my little boy with me (2YO) as well and all were great with him! The dentist especially made him feel so welcome. Could not recommend enough!
