Dental bridges are a highly effective, time-tested solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are held in place by dental crowns. These crowns are cemented onto the teeth adjacent to the empty space, creating a 'bridge' that fills the gap and restores your smile. With a dental bridge, you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence, knowing your teeth look natural and function just like they should.
If you're missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge could be the perfect solution for you. Not only do dental bridges restore the aesthetic appearance of your smile, but they also improve oral functionality. Missing teeth can lead to a variety of issues, including difficulty chewing, speech problems, and a shifting of the remaining teeth. A dental bridge can prevent these complications, providing a fixed, durable solution that feels and looks natural. Plus, dental bridges are custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless fit and a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
The first dental bridge was used by the ancient Etruscans as early as 700 BC!

Dental bridges are meticulously designed to match your natural teeth, filling in the gaps in your smile with realistic, high-quality prosthetics. They restore the natural contour of your teeth and the proper alignment of your bite, leading to a significant improvement in your smile and facial aesthetics.
Missing teeth can make everyday tasks like eating and speaking difficult. Dental bridges restore these functions by replacing the missing teeth with durable, high-quality prosthetics. Once your dental bridge is in place, you'll be able to chew food properly and speak clearly, enhancing your quality of life.
When a tooth is lost, the remaining teeth can shift to fill the gap, leading to misalignment and potential bite issues. Dental bridges fill in these gaps, preventing the remaining teeth from shifting and helping maintain the structure of your mouth and jaw. This can prevent further dental issues down the line.
The first step in the dental bridge process involves a comprehensive dental examination. Our Gold Coast dentists will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine whether a dental bridge is the best solution for you.
The second step involves preparing the teeth that will support the bridge. These teeth are reshaped to accommodate the dental crowns that will hold the bridge in place. Then, an impression of your teeth is taken. This impression will be used to create a bridge that fits perfectly and looks natural.
The final step is the placement of the dental bridge. Once your custom-made bridge is ready, it will be checked for fit and comfort. Then, it will be cemented into place, restoring your smile and oral functionality.
