Dental Bridges are a fixed option to restore a missing tooth. The procedure is used in similar circumstances to a removable partial denture (plates). The advantage of a bridge is that it is cemented in place and does not need to be removed. During the treatment, the abutment teeth are reduced with a crown preparation to allow for the high strength framework material and veneering ceramic to be put in place. This dental restoration procedure is an alternative option to replace a missing tooth when a patient is not a suitable candidate for either a surgical implant or removable dentures.
Restoring a missing tooth blends structural precision with fine artistry. Your dental bridge is custom-crafted by our clinical team and master ceramist to match your surrounding teeth and restore a natural, comfortable bite—completed in just two convenient visits.
Once we map out your treatment plan, we gently reshape the two teeth bordering the gap to create space for the supporting crowns. We use local anaesthetic as part of pain management and will discuss what you may experience during and after the procedure.
Next, we take a quick, comfortable digital scan of your teeth and the gap—completely eliminating the need for messy, traditional molds. We then fit you with a high-quality temporary bridge. This keeps your smile fully functional and protects your teeth while our lab masterfully crafts your permanent restoration.
Crowns and bridges may help restore selected teeth or replace missing teeth. The number of appointments, fit, appearance and function depend on the individual case. Adjustments, maintenance and eventual repair or replacement may be needed.
We replace the temporary bridge with the final restoration and assess its fit, appearance and bite. Adjustments or further review may be needed.
At North Sydney Dentistry, our dental bridge cost starts around $4,350 per tooth. Hence it is recommended to book in a consultation appointment for a full mouth examination and treatment plan in order to know the definite quote for your dental bridge.
