Our bridge is a durable, fixed solution for tooth loss in Norwest, NSW.

Dental Bridges

For our Hills District patients with a gap in their smile, a dental bridge is one solution for a missing tooth. It is true that at Willow Dental Care in Baulkham Hills, we often suggest an implant to replace a missing tooth. But in some instances, this may not be appropriate.

When evaluating options for tooth loss, our clinical team assists patients in comparing fixed bridgework with removable full and partial dentures. If there is insufficient bone to support an implant or a medical condition that makes an implant inadvisable, a bridge can be an effective way to regain chewing function and close an unsightly gap.

We recommend our dental bridges to patients who:

Want a fixed tooth replacement solution
Want a natural-looking result
Want restored oral function

How a Dental Bridge Works to Restore Your Full Smile

A dental bridge replaces the missing tooth by having a prosthetic or false tooth (pontic) splinted and supported by crowns on the teeth adjacent to the gap. The crowns and middle tooth are usually made of tooth-coloured, strong zirconia, carefully matched to your other teeth.

In some cases, a dental bridge can replace more than one tooth if the loss is minimal and the teeth are lost in succession.

As described above, the bridge requires an appointment to shape the teeth for crowns, and a scan or impression to be sent to our Australian dental lab of choice. A temporary bridge is worn until the next appointment, when we will check the fit and colour of the new bridge. We will ensure you are happy with the result, and if so, the bridge will be permanently bonded to your adjacent teeth.

The Benefits of a Dental Bridge

We think the tried-and-true dental bridge is an excellent choice for tooth replacement. Let's explore a few reasons why.

A Fixed Tooth Replacement Solution

The dental bridge never rocks or tilts in the mouth, allowing you to eat and smile without concern.

A Way to Prevent Tooth Migration

Smile gaps invite healthy teeth to shift into the open space. A dental bridge prevents migration.

Restores Your Oral Function

A full smile can help with chewing complex foods and may even aid in proper digestion.

Minimal Maintenance Required

Keep your bridge clean, especially at the gumline, and see your dentist regularly.
