Restore Your Gaps with Dental Bridges

Don’t let gaps in your smile hold you back. We make dental bridges in Fairfield to fill those spaces to restore your smile and bite.

Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are a solution to replace one or more missing teeth. Typically, a bridge consists of two crowns placed on the teeth on either side of a gap (called abutment teeth) and a false tooth or teeth in between (called pontics). It can be used to help treat those suffering from multiple decayed, damaged or missing teeth restoring the smile and function. We specialise in crafting dental bridges using state-of-the-art technology to match the shade and contour of your natural teeth.

Dental Bridge Treatment Fairfield

Dental Bridge Treatment

The dental bridge procedure takes place in two visits and are seamless, virtually pain-free appointments. An initial consultation is required to assess the teeth and need for a bridge:

1- Consultation and Smile Design

A full mouth assessment is done during the initial appointment to check the health of the teeth to be used for the bridge and size/shape of the gap present. The way you speak, smile and bite are analysed. A 3D Digital Scan of your teeth is taken to help with the planning of your dental bridge.

2- Preparation of Teeth & Temporary Bridge

During the first appointment of your bridge process, the teeth used to hold the bridge are prepared for dental crowns or attachments depending on your bridge design. A digital scan is taken and sent to our skilled lab technicians to craft. A temporary bridge is placed at the end of this appointment which allows you to test drive your new smile and final bridge.

3- Final Bridge Application

During the final appointment the temporary bridge is removed and replaced with the final white coloured bridge. This can be a porcelain bridge, zirconia bridge or metal-based bridge depending on what is best suited for you functionally and aesthetically. It is also bonded to your teeth with high strength cement material.

Types Of Dental Bridges

  • Maryland Dental Bridge – A conservative option, this bridge uses porcelain or metal wings on its sides, bonded to your adjacent teeth.
  • Traditional Dental Bridge – The most common type involves placing crowns on teeth surrounding the gap, supporting a false tooth in between.
  • Implant-Supported Bridge – This dental bridge implantation process uses implants instead of natural teeth to hold the bridge in, it offers high stability, especially for multiple missing teeth.
  • Cantilever Dental Bridge – This bridge is anchored to a single crown on one side and is often used when only one adjacent tooth is available.
  • Composite Resin Bridge – Often considered a temporary solution, this bridge is made by bonding a composite material directly to the adjacent teeth.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Dental Bridges?

Benefit of Dental Bridges
  • Restore Functional & Aesthetics – Bridges restore chewing ability and enhance the smile by filling gaps.
  • Prevent Teeth Shifting– They help keep surrounding teeth in place by filling the gap left by missing teeth.
  • Non-surgical option– Unlike dental implants, getting a bridge doesn’t involve surgery.
Risks of Dental Bridges
  • Affects Adjacent Teeth- For some bridges, neighboring teeth must be filed down to make space for the crown to cover it.
  • Bridge Failure- If the teeth holding the bridge fail, get infected or fracture, the whole bridge can fail as well.   
  • Potential for decay and gum disease – If not maintained, areas around or under the bridge can become susceptible to dental issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental bridges can last between 5 to 15 years. In some cases, it can last longer with proper care and maintenance.

No, only a dentist can remove a dental bridge by cutting it out. It is bonded with high strength cement that makes it impossible to come out.

Our dentists in Fairfield will go over patient personalised care instructions for a dental bridge. We recommended brushing twice a day and flossing once to remove all the build up around and under the bridge. There are special ways of flossing under your bridge that our dentist will teach you. Some patients may be recommended to wear a night guard to protect their bridge and improve longevity.
