City accountant, male needing some dental work (9)

I believe the answer is:

cambridge

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'city' is the definition.
(Cambridge is an example)

'accountant male needing some dental work' is the wordplay.
'accountant' becomes 'ca' (abbreviation for chartered accountant).
'male' becomes 'm' (common abbreviation).
'needing' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'some dental work' becomes 'bridge' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ca'+'m'+'bridge'='CAMBRIDGE'

Can you help me to learn more?
