Restore Your Smile with Dental Bridges
Missing a tooth can affect both the function and appearance of your smile. Dental bridges are a common solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, restoring your bite, and helping you maintain a natural, complete smile. A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that uses surrounding teeth to support the artificial tooth, or pontic, filling the gap left by the missing tooth.
Dental bridges work by anchoring to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. The artificial tooth is then placed between these anchor points, restoring the function and look of your smile. The materials used in creating dental bridges are highly durable and designed to match the natural colour of your surrounding teeth, providing both strength and aesthetics.
A dental bridge not only fills the space left by a missing tooth but also helps maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth, which can shift over time. Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly while also helping to maintain the shape of your face by preventing bone loss. It’s a long-lasting solution that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth, ensuring a beautiful and functional smile.

Request an
Appointment
The procedure for getting a dental bridge typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, we prepare the anchor teeth by reshaping them to fit the crowns that will support the bridge. Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly in your mouth. At your second visit, the bridge is fitted, adjusted, and cemented into place, giving you an immediate improvement in both function and appearance.
Caring for Your Dental Bridge
To keep your dental bridge in good condition, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene. Regular brushing and flossing, particularly around the bridge, help prevent decay and gum disease. With proper care, a dental bridge can last many years, providing a durable and reliable solution for missing teeth.
Cost of Dental Bridges
The cost of a dental bridge varies depending on the materials used and the complexity of the case. We will always provide a detailed quote before proceeding with any treatment, outlining the total cost, your insurance rebate, and the gap you will need to pay. This allows you to make an informed decision about your dental care.
