Restored Functionality
Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are an option to replace missing teeth. Some types of dental bridges rely on adjacent teeth for support and other involve dental implants for added stability.
- Affordable tooth replacement treatment
- Attaches to adjacent teeth to improve the appearance of your smile
- Comfortable and natural-looking
What are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is an appliance that is permanently fitted into the mouth to replace a missing tooth or missing teeth. It is fixed into the mouth by attaching to the
tooth/teeth on either side of the gap where a tooth has been lost. There are numerous types of dental bridges available at our clinic in Loughborough, and the procedure will vary depending on the type selected.
Permanent dental bridges are renowned for being a natural and comfortable option to replace teeth. However, it should be noted that, unlike a dental implant, the process
usually requires the preparation of other teeth so it can be more destructive, carrying additional risk.

Resin Retained Bridge
Why have Dental Bridges at Lux Dental?
Types Of Dental Bridges
Resin Retained Bridge
Resin-retained bridges offer a minimally invasive and aesthetically pleasing option for individuals with missing teeth. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on dental implants or cut back natural teeth for support, resin-retained bridges are attached using metal or ceramic wings bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
This approach is particularly suitable for cases where the surrounding teeth are healthy and strong. Resin-retained bridges are a viable option when the gap is small, and the neighbouring teeth can provide adequate support.
While they may not be as robust as implant-supported bridges, they offer a conservative alternative, preserving the structure of adjacent teeth, providing a natural appearance and are initially less costly than dental implants
Conventional Bridge
Conventional bridges serve as a robust solution for individuals dealing with missing teeth. In cases where dental implants may not be feasible or necessary, a conventional bridge can effectively restore both function and aesthetics. Comprising one or more artificial teeth, the bridge relies on the support of adjacent natural teeth, which are crowned to anchor the dental bridge in place.
This not only fills the gap left by missing teeth but also helps maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth. While not as invasive as dental implants, conventional bridges provide a reliable option for patients seeking a fixed and durable solution for their missing teeth.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How long have you been at the practice, when was it started?
Lux Dental opened its doors in the lovely village of Quorn in December 2021, but the business actually began as an idea in 2015 by Dr. Ravi and Dr. Anjli. After graduating, they had always dreamed of owning their own dental surgery and building it from the ground up. After several years of searching, they finally found the perfect location in Quorn to bring their dream into fruition.
What is the history of the practice?
The dental practice where Lux is currently situated was previously owned by David Armstrong and operated under the name Armstrong Dental. In December 2021, Dr Ravi and Dr Anjli took over the surgery and rebranded it as Lux Dental.
Since taking over the dental surgery, we have significantly evolved the practice and have plans to continue evolving. We have transformed the surgery from a basic dentistry practice to a multidisciplinary one that now offers complex treatments such as root canals, dental implants, Oral surgery, cosmetic dentistry and adult orthodontics
The Practice now
Since taking over the dental surgery in 2021, we have dedicated a lot of time and resources into creating a practice that is both service and technology orientated. We have fully embraced digital technology and now have an intra oral scanner, which can scan teeth for crowns, implants and Invisalign. Additionally, we recently invested in a CT scanner at our sister practice, which helps us provide the best care to our patients by aiding in the diagnosis of any issues. We have also recently invested in a very “snazzy” laser which helps to repair teeth that may have been deemed unrestorable in the past.
Which partners do you have?
At Lux Dental, we only partner with cutting- edge companies that are leaders in dental technology. We offer Invisalign for our patients looking for straight teeth and work with Straumann for dental implants. Additionally, we have an in-house dental plan run in partnership with Practice Plan that gives patients access to quality dental care, whether it be routine or emergency.
