Dental Bridges in Five Dock

You might be an ideal candidate for a dental bridge if you have one or more missing teeth, have healthy teeth that can support a bridge or want a permanent solution for missing teeth.

Closing the Gap with Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, held in place by crowns attached to the teeth adjacent to the gap. This traditional restoration method is both durable and cosmetically pleasing, making it a popular choice for those looking to enhance their oral function and appearance.

Taking Steps Toward the Bridge Procedure

During your first visit, we assess your oral health and discuss whether a dental bridge is the best option for you. This involves examining the health of the teeth that will serve as support for the bridge, as well as the overall alignment of your jaw.

If you’re a good candidate, the abutment teeth are reshaped to ensure a proper fit for the crowns. Impressions and scans are taken, which our lab uses to create a bridge that perfectly matches the size, shape, and colour of your natural teeth. We place a temporary bridge to protect the exposed teeth and gums while the permanent bridge is made.

Once your custom-made bridge is ready, you’ll return for a final fitting. Dr Shetty ensures the bridge fits comfortably and matches your natural teeth in colour and shape before permanently cementing it into place.

Maintaining a dental bridge is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Regular brushing and flossing and professional cleanings are essential to ensure your bridge lasts.

The Advantages of a Dental Bridge

Some benefits include

  • Aesthetic Improvement – bridges are crafted from materials like porcelain that mimic the look of natural teeth, effortlessly enhancing your smile
  • Functional Restoration – with a bridge in place, there are no dietary restrictions, and you can speak more clearly
  • Prevention of Further Oral Health Issues – bridges help prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of position, which could lead to a misaligned bite and other complications
