How We Help

Bridging the Gap — Restoring Your Smile and Your Bite

A missing tooth does more than affect your appearance. Without a tooth to occupy the space, surrounding teeth gradually drift and tilt into the gap, changing your bite and making them harder to clean. A dental bridge stops this from happening by filling the gap with a fixed, permanent restoration.

The bridge consists of an artificial tooth anchored by porcelain crowns on the adjacent teeth. The result is strong, natural-looking and completely fixed — you eat, speak and clean your teeth just as you would naturally.

A bridge is a well-established, cost-effective solution — especially when the teeth on either side of the gap already need crowns, or when implant surgery is not suitable. We'll walk you through all your options so you can make the best decision for your situation.

Health fund rebates available. We use HICAPS for instant on-the-spot claiming with all major health funds.

The Process

What to Expect at Your Appointments

Two appointments are all it takes to go from missing tooth to restored smile.

Assessment & Planning

We examine the gap and surrounding teeth to confirm a bridge is the right solution for your situation and discuss your options.

Preparing Anchor Teeth

The teeth either side of the gap (the abutment teeth) are carefully shaped to accept the crowns that will support the bridge.

Impressions & Temporary Bridge

Precise impressions are taken and sent to our laboratory. A temporary bridge protects your prepared teeth in the meantime.

Permanent Bridge Fitting

Your custom bridge is checked for fit, appearance and bite before being permanently cemented — restoring your smile in two visits.

FAQs

Common Questions

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (or teeth) held in place by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth on either side of the gap.

A bridge is supported by the surrounding natural teeth and doesn't require surgery. A dental implant replaces the root of the missing tooth with a titanium post. Bridges are a proven, cost-effective solution — particularly when the adjacent teeth already need crowns.

Yes. Our bridges are crafted from porcelain and matched to the colour and shape of your surrounding teeth. Most people won't be able to tell the difference from a natural tooth.

With proper care and regular check-ups, dental bridges typically last 10 or more years. Good oral hygiene — especially cleaning under the bridge with floss threaders or interdental brushes — is key to longevity.

Yes. Once your bridge is permanently cemented, you can eat normally. We recommend avoiding very hard or sticky foods to protect the bridge long-term.
