Bridges and dentures in Churriana
Work that gets reviewed for years, not handed over and forgotten.
A prosthesis ages along with the mouth
No prosthesis is definitive in the literal sense. The gum changes, the bone remodels and the bite wears. Good work is the kind that follows those changes with reviews and adjustments, not the kind that is handed over and never looked at again.
Relining and repair
Before replacing a denture it is worth seeing whether it can be relined — reshaping its base to the gum as it is now — or repaired. In plenty of cases that gives years of life back to something the patient had written off.
Old, badly fitting removable dentures are a frequent cause of accelerated bone loss.
-
Replaces several teeth at once
A single prosthesis restores the whole missing section, in fewer visits than one implant per tooth.
-
Implant-supported, no healthy teeth shaped
An implant-supported bridge avoids loading the neighbouring teeth and slows bone loss in the gap.
-
A fixed result
Unlike a removable denture, it isn't taken out to eat or sleep.
At this clinic
Prosthetics with long follow-up
As the oldest clinic in the group, we regularly review prosthetics fitted here many years ago. In a fair number of cases they are relined rather than remade.
The review schedule is handed over with the prosthesis.
- Relining assessed before replacement.
- A review schedule provided with the work.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 What's the difference between a conventional bridge and an implant-supported one?
A conventional bridge anchors by shaping down the two teeth bordering the gap. An implant-supported bridge anchors on one or two implants instead of natural teeth: it shapes nothing healthy and slows bone loss under the gap.
02 Does a conventional bridge damage the neighbouring teeth?
It requires shaping them down to fit the crowns that support it, which weakens them long-term. That's its main drawback compared with an implant-supported bridge.
03 How many teeth can a bridge replace?
It depends on the gap and the support available. When very few teeth are missing, a bridge covers the section; when an entire arch is missing, the solution is no longer a bridge but a full-arch rehabilitation.
04 Can I eat normally with a bridge?
Yes, it's a fixed prosthesis: it isn't removed to eat or sleep. Hygiene underneath it should be kept up with interdental brushes or a water flosser.
