Dental Bridges Macquarie Park

A dental bridge is a single or series of false teeth called pontics that are made of porcelain, gold, alloys, or a combination of some of these materials. It is usually supported by existing teeth or implants and designed to replace missing teeth, fill the gaps in a smile, help you regain proper chewing function, and make your everyday life easier.

A dental bridge is an aesthetically pleasing dental restoration that will bring back a smile to your face. It will also provide support, stability and improve your overall dental health. In other words, you will be able to chew and speak without any obstacles, and you will maintain the shape of your face. Additionally, your natural teeth will remain in their original position and will not drift away. The biting force will also be equally distributed between all your teeth, so your remaining natural teeth will not wear and decay faster than expected.

There are three types of dental bridges out there. The most common one is made of porcelain/ceramic metal combination. It is supported by two crowns that are placed on your natural teeth or implants on both sides of it. Cantilever bridges are not that common because there is usually just one anchor tooth, which makes them unsuitable for the back teeth. Finally, there are Maryland bonded bridges that consist of a metal framework combined with porcelain, porcelain bonded with metal or plastic teeth, and they are usually bonded to your natural teeth on one side.

Only in the most positive possible way! You will be able to eat and speak properly. Give yourself some time to get used to it though, and don’t be quick to disappoint in case it does not feel natural at first. If your dentist did a good job, chances are you will become one with it faster than you know it.

If you follow our pieces of advice properly and make sure you maintain a high level of oral hygiene (brush twice a day, floss and use mouthwash), expect your dental bridge to last up to 15 years.

Not at all. We will give you an appropriate anesthetic and you won’t feel anything during the procedure.
