Dental Bridges Bondi Junction
Restore Your Smile by Replacing Missing Teeth
Missing a tooth doesn’t just affect your smile—it can also impact how you eat, speak, and maintain your oral health. At Better Smiles Bondi Junction, our custom-made dental bridges are a reliable solution to fill the gap and restore balance, function, and aesthetics to your smile.
When Might a Bridge Be Needed?
You may benefit from a dental bridge if:
- You are missing one or more teeth in a row
- You prefer a non-removable alternative to dentures
- Adjacent teeth are suitable to support a bridge
- You want to restore symmetry and improve your bite
- You are not a candidate for dental implants or prefer another option
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device that replaces one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (or teeth) anchored by crowns placed on the natural teeth or dental implants adjacent to the gap. Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak clearly, while also preventing neighbouring teeth from shifting out of position.
Types of Dental Bridges
| Bridge Type | Description | Used For |
| Traditional Bridge | Anchored by crowns on natural teeth | Common for single or multiple teeth |
| Cantilever Bridge | Anchored on one side only | Used when only one supporting tooth is available |
| Maryland Bridge | Attached using resin and metal/ceramic wings | Suitable for front teeth |
| Implant-Supported Bridge | Anchored to dental implants instead of natural teeth | Ideal for multiple missing teeth |
Your dentist will assess which option is most suitable based on your oral health and preferences.
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Initial Consultation & Preparation
- The supporting teeth are assessed and prepared.
- A digital scan or impression is taken for accuracy.
- A temporary bridge may be placed while the permanent one is made.
- Bridge Placement
- The final bridge is carefully fitted and checked for bite and comfort.
- It is then cemented into place or attached to implants.
The entire process is typically completed over two visits.
Caring for Your Dental Bridge
Dental bridges require similar care to your natural teeth:
- Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste
- Use floss or interdental brushes to clean underneath the bridge
- Attend regular dental check-ups and cleans
- Avoid very hard or sticky foods where possible
With proper care, a bridge can last many years and provide excellent function.
