Dental Bridge in Abu Dhabi — Replace a Missing Tooth
Part of our Dental services at Central Clinic.
A dental bridge is a fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth — anchored to the teeth beside the gap, so it stays in place like your own. A missing tooth makes its neighbours drift within months and the bone beneath shrink; a bridge stops all of it.

How it works
Two comfortable visits. First, the teeth on either side of the gap are gently prepared and an impression is taken. At the second visit, your bridge is fitted and cemented — fixed in place, natural-looking, built to last 10–15 years. The check and X-ray are included at your visit, and you get the exact price per unit before any treatment begins.
Who is a dental bridge for?
- You have one or more missing teeth next to each other
- The teeth on either side of the gap are healthy and strong enough to support a bridge
- You want a fixed replacement rather than a removable denture
Filling the gap also stops the neighbouring teeth from drifting and keeps your bite even.
Dental bridge cost in Abu Dhabi
Dental bridges at Central Clinic start from AED 275 per unit. A bridge to replace one missing tooth usually has 3 units: a crown on each supporting tooth and the replacement tooth in the middle. Your dentist confirms the number of units and the exact price after the examination and X-ray, before treatment starts.
Bridge or denture?
- Dental bridge (from AED 275 per unit): fixed in place, feels close to natural teeth, no need to remove it.
- Denture (from AED 249): removable, and can replace several or all missing teeth.
Your dentist explains which option suits your teeth and budget.
Caring for your bridge
Brush twice a day and clean under the bridge with floss threaders or interdental brushes, so food doesn’t collect under the replacement tooth. Regular check-ups keep the supporting teeth healthy.
Types of dental bridges
Traditional bridge: a false tooth (pontic) is held in place by crowns on the natural teeth either side of the gap. It is the most common type.
Cantilever bridge: the false tooth is supported by a crown on one side only. It may be used where there is a healthy tooth on just one side of the gap.
Adhesive (Maryland) bridge: the false tooth is attached to a thin metal or ceramic wing bonded to the back of the neighbouring teeth, so less tooth needs to be prepared. It is often used for front teeth.
Bridge, implant or denture?
A bridge is fixed in place and usually takes two visits. It relies on the neighbouring teeth for support, so those teeth need to be strong. A denture is removable and can replace several teeth at once. Your dentist will look at the gap, the supporting teeth and your gums, and explain the options that suit you.
What happens during bridge treatment
- First visit: the supporting teeth are prepared under local anaesthetic, impressions or scans are taken, and a temporary bridge is fitted.
- Second visit: the final bridge is checked for fit, colour and bite, then cemented in place.
Looking after your bridge
- Brush twice a day and clean under the false tooth with a floss threader, superfloss or interdental brush
- Avoid biting very hard foods such as ice or bones on the bridge
- Keep up regular cleaning and check-ups so the supporting teeth stay healthy
- Message us if the bridge feels loose or your bite changes
Who is a good candidate for a bridge?
- You have one or two missing teeth next to each other
- The teeth either side of the gap are strong and healthy, or already need crowns
- Your gums are healthy, or gum problems have been treated first
- You prefer a fixed option rather than a removable denture
If a tooth has only just been removed, your dentist may advise waiting for the gum to heal before the final bridge is made. See tooth extraction for what to expect.
