A dental bridge can restore your smile and help you to eat and chew normally after the loss of a tooth.
Dental bridges are a commonly used and trusted dental treatment which look and feel just like your natural teeth.
At Royal Wharf Dental, we offer bridges that are colour-matched to your natural teeth, so no one will be able to tell you lost a tooth (or teeth) in the first place.
What is a bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic or replacement tooth. It is supported on either side by dental crowns and is fitted to look, function and feel like a natural tooth. The prosthetic literally ‘bridges’ the gap left behind by a missing tooth or by a row of missing teeth.
If you require a dental bridge, this and the supporting crowns that ‘anchor’ it into place will be specially built for you by our laboratory technicians.
Bridges are long-lasting and resilient dental restorations. As long as you care for your bridge and keep it clean, it can last for many years.
I can’t recommend Royal Wharf Dental and Dr Luke Thorley highly enough.From my very first appointment, Luke took the time to understand exactly what I wanted to achieve and carefully talked me through every stage of my treatment plan. He explained everything clearly, making sure I understood my options and felt comfortable with each step along the way.What really sets Luke apart is his personality. He’s incredibly personable, approachable, and has a great sense of humour, which immediately puts you at ease. Dental treatment can be daunting, but he has a way of making every appointment feel relaxed and stress-free. No question ever felt like a silly question, and he was always happy to help and provide reassurance whenever I needed it.The entire team at Royal Wharf Dental are friendly, professional, and welcoming, and the standard of care has been outstanding throughout. I’ve always felt listened to, supported, and genuinely cared for as a patient.Thank you, Dr Luke, Laura (who is fabulous), and everyone at Royal Wharf Dental for such a positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for exceptional dental care.
I’ve just had an appointment with Dr. Luke! He’s been extremely helpful, gentle with cleaning my teeth but also super patient and informative answering all my queries and putting me at ease as I’m pregnant. He tailored the treatment example no x ray and a gentler clean due to my pregnancy and explained the next steps very clearly.I’d definitely recommend this dental practice and will be coming for regular checkups.Laura and Dorcas at the reception are extremely friendly and cheerful too which made my day!
I brought my mum to see Dr Luke after an accident at work left her without a front tooth. Not only were Laura and Dr Luke incredibly helpful, efficient and good at their jobs, they were also incredibly kind, which was exactly what my mum needed at that point.From the very first appointment, which was just an examination, Dr Luke said he wouldn't leave her without a tooth for the week until the next appointment and stayed late to get something together for her. It meant she could leave feeling comfortable and able to smile again, which made a huge difference to her confidence after what had happened.All of the appointments that followed were met with the same level of care, kindness and professionalism. Everything was explained clearly, and my mum felt reassured throughout the whole process.Both my mum and I are extremely grateful for everything they did. Thank you to Dr Luke, Laura and the whole team.
I’ve been going to Royal Wharf Dental for the last 3 years, and I can honestly say it’s been nothing but a great experience from start to finish. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm welcome that immediately puts you at ease, and that same care carries through every appointment.The whole team is fantastic, but I have to give special thanks to Luke, Antonio and Laura. Their kindness and empathy genuinely stand out - they take the time to explain everything clearly, answer any questions, and make sure you’re comfortable throughout. They’re incredibly knowledgeable, professional and efficient, so you never feel rushed yet never end up waiting around either.Whether it’s a routine check-up or something more involved, I always leave feeling well looked after and confident I’ve had the best care possible. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, and I’d happily recommend Royal Wharf Dental to anyone looking for a dental practice they can trust!
I’ve been going to RW dental practice for many years and have had a range of treatments, from regular fillings and hygiene appointments to implants and crowns. I am extremely happy with both the results and the level of care provided. The team is professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to doing the best job, while making sure you feel comfortable and well looked after. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for high quality dental care!
I have (unfortunately) had to use many dentists in recent years - both NHS and private - but absolutely none have come close to the excellence of Royal Wharf Dental.Here is a team of professionals in the purest sense - friendly, accommodating, keen to ensure patient comfort and good outcomes.Very low effort from the patient’s point of view. Sit back, relax and let the dentists get to work while you just watch TV…!Dr. Beth got all the work I needed done as quickly and efficiently as possible. No issues, no pain. Very impressed and left with a smile every time.Huge thanks to Laura whose delightful personality and professionalism made it all the more simple to get everything I needed booked in and sorted out.I should hope no more dental operations required but, if they were, I’m pleased to say I’d be in safe hands with the team here.
I had a really great experience at this dental practice. Dr Beth was professional, gentle, and took the time to explain everything clearly before starting the procedure. I was quite nervous about having a filling done, but they made me feel completely at ease and checked in throughout to make sure I was comfortable.The treatment itself was smooth and, and the aftercare advice was clear and helpful. The whole team was friendly, welcoming, and efficient from start to finish, which made the visit much less stressful than I expected.I’m really happy with the care I received and would definitely recommend this dentist to anyone looking for a professional, reassuring, and skilled dental team.
I’ve been having Invisalign treatment at Royal Wharf Dental and I’ve had an excellent experience from start to finish.The whole team is friendly, professional and very thorough, and I’ve always felt everything about my treatment plan was clearly explained, including what to expect at each stage of Invisalign and how to get the best results. Appointments run on time, the practice is spotless and feels more like a modern clinic than a typical dentist, which really helps if you’re a bit nervous.The front desk team make booking and changing appointments easy, and communication by phone and email has been smooth and responsive.If you’re considering Invisalign in the Royal Wharf / Docklands area, I’d highly recommend Royal Wharf Dental for both the quality of care and the overall patient experience.
Finding a dentist you can trust and put your faith in can be a difficult thing. But Luke has been my dentist for around ten years now from when he first qualified through to being one of the best in his field as he now undoubtedly is. That’s why I had no hesitation following him when he left my local dentist in Welling to set up his own practice in Pontoon Dock. The distance I now have to travel is worth it for the first class care that Luke and his team provide. From the moment you walk in through the door you are greeted by the ever helpful and smiley dental nurse Laura through to all the other staff like practice manager Kimberley, Alex one of the other qualified dentists at the practice and all the other dental nurses. My dental health has never been better and that’s down to Luke and his team.
I had veneers done at this practice and the results exceeded my expectations. The dentist Dr. Luke, was meticulous and very experienced, and the receptionist coordinator Laura made the whole process smooth and reassuring as I was extremely nervous placing veneers over my teeth. They listened carefully to what I wanted and they made sure to deliver me what I asked for, and now I have a smile that looks natural and suits my face perfectly. I’m extremely happy with the outcome and would highly recommend this practice. I am in the customer service industry and all of my clients have said that my teeth have changed my look. My other member of staff from my recommendation has started her Invisalign treatment and is over the moon. A big thank you to the whole practice!!
Just wanted to put an overdue review on Luke & his team at Royal wharf dental & Bromley dental suite!

Love seeing them & make you feel welcome, they overcome any hurdle that comes in our way to make my perfect smile which I’ve been waiting for a long time…Shoutout to Luke, Laura, Antonio, Alex & can’t forget Suzie! 😎Exceptional work, Keep it up
