For some teeth, only one side of the bridge needs crown support, while others may be supported by metal clasps.

As well as restoring the look and function of your smile, a dental bridge also helps to support the surrounding teeth on each side of the gap and prevents them from drifting.<\/p>\n
Who can benefit from a dental bridge at Sydney Dental Surgeons?<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]A bridge can replace a single tooth or several teeth in a line. The surrounding teeth should also be healthy and your mouth should be free from oral health problems such as gum disease, which increase the risk of complications.<\/p>\n
Types of dental bridges<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The type of bridge our dentists will recommend depends on what type of tooth needs replacing and what material you prefer.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”our-team-section-page-text-box”]\n
Traditional bridges<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Traditional bridges can replace most teeth in the mouth. Each side of the bridge is supported by a dental crown placed over the adjacent teeth.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]This type of bridge can be made from either metal or ceramics (porcelain). Most people choose a ceramic dental bridge that looks more like natural teeth. Porcelain fused to metal offers a middle ground with a strong metal core.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”our-team-section-page-text-box”]\n
Cantilever bridges<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If there’s only one adjacent tooth, such as for a bridge at the back of the mouth, a cantilever bridge can support a dental bridge with a crown on only one side. These may also be used for gaps towards the front of the mouth, if you don’t want to cover a prominent front tooth with a crown.<\/p>\n
Maryland bridges<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Maryland bridges, also called resin bonded bridges, are used to replace a missing front tooth. These aren’t supported by crowns on either side of the bridge, but instead use ‘wings’ made from porcelain or metal that attach to the back of the adjacent teeth.<\/p>\n
Dental bridges pros and cons<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]It’s important to know the facts before you agree to any dental procedure. Our dentists will make sure you understand how much dental bridges cost and what the possible risks are so you can make a fully informed decision about the pros and cons of dental bridges.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=”our-team-section-page-text-box”]\n

Our Sydney Dental bridge procedure<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you decide that you want a dental bridge, your dentist will first prepare the surrounding teeth for crowns. We’ll next take a mould of your mouth that we use to design your custom dental bridge.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]If you choose a ceramic bridge and crowns, we can match these to your natural teeth colour and may be able to manufacture them during the same appointment using the CEREC CAD\/CAM system. Other types of bridges and crowns will need to be made by a dental laboratory and fitted on your next visit. We’ll give you a temporary bridge to wear before then.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]When your dental bridge is ready, we’ll check that it’s the right fit and make any adjustments necessary. We’ll then cement the bridge and crowns to the adjacent teeth. Most people can return to their normal activities the same day, but we recommend that you avoid touching the bridge and crowns and eat soft foods until they’ve finished bonding.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n
