What are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a custom-made dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by literally “bridging” the gap between the remaining adjacent teeth. It consists of two or more crowns that are placed on the teeth bordering the gap (these are called abutment teeth) and a false tooth or teeth (called pontics) in between. These components are fused together to create a single unit that is then cemented onto the prepared abutment teeth, effectively filling the space left by the missing teeth and restoring the integrity of your smile.

Benefits Of Dental Bridge Work?
Dental bridges offer a reliable and effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, restoring both the aesthetics and functionality of your smile. By filling the gap left by missing teeth, bridges help to maintain the natural alignment of your remaining teeth and prevent further dental complications.
- Restores Your Smile: Bridges effectively fill gaps, enhancing the appearance and confidence in your smile.
- Improves Chewing and Speaking: Replacing missing teeth allows for proper chewing and clear speech.
- Maintains Facial Shape: Bridges help support facial structures, preventing sagging that can occur with tooth loss.
- Prevents Tooth Shifting: By filling the gap, bridges stop adjacent teeth from drifting out of position.
- Fixed and Secure: Dental bridges are cemented in place, providing a stable and non-removable tooth replacement option.

Dental Bridges Melbourne Process
Step 1
Consultation and Assessment
Your journey to a complete smile begins with a consultation at our Hampton, Victoria practice. Dr Max Patel will assess your missing teeth and the health of your adjacent teeth to determine if a dental bridge is the right solution for you. We will discuss your options and create a personalised treatment plan.
Step 2
Abutment Teeth Preparation
The teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth) will be carefully prepared by removing a small portion of enamel to allow space for the crowns that will anchor the bridge. Using our 3d Cerec scanner, we will create precise digital scans of these teeth.
Step 3
Bridge Fabrication and placement
Many of our bridges are manufactured in-house and fitted within 2 hours. Your new permanent dental bridge will be carefully checked for fit, bite, and aesthetics. Once any necessary adjustments are made, the bridge will be securely cemented onto your prepared abutment teeth, restoring your smile.
Alternatively, if the bridge is a large size, the digital scans are securely sent to our trusted dental laboratory, where your custom dental bridge, consisting of the anchoring crowns and the replacement tooth/teeth (pontic), is meticulously crafted. In this scenario, a temporary bridge will usually be placed to protect your prepared teeth.
Step 4
Bridge Placement if made using extrenal laboratory
During your second visit to our Melbourne clinic, your temporary bridge will be removed, and your new permanent dental bridge will be carefully checked for fit, bite, and aesthetics. Once any necessary adjustments are made, the bridge will be securely cemented onto your prepared abutment teeth, restoring your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Dental bridges are a well-established and reliable solution for replacing missing teeth, offering several key advantages. They provide a fixed and stable restoration that feels and functions much like natural teeth, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably. By filling the gap, dental bridges prevent the adjacent teeth from shifting out of alignment, which can lead to further dental problems such as bite issues, gum disease, and difficulty cleaning. Furthermore, bridges help to maintain the natural contour of your face and restore the aesthetic appearance of your smile, contributing to improved confidence and overall oral health.
The cost of a dental bridge at Siana Dental in Hampton, Victoria, can vary depending on several factors, including the number of teeth being replaced, the type of bridge required (traditional, cantilever, Maryland), and the materials used. To obtain an accurate estimate for your specific situation, we recommend scheduling a consultation with one of our experienced dentists in Melbourne. They will assess your needs and provide you with a personalised treatment plan and a clear breakdown of the associated costs, working with our friendly support team to answer any financial queries.
With proper care and maintenance, dental bridges placed at Siana Dental in Hampton, Victoria, can last for many years, typically ranging from 5 to 15 years or even longer. The longevity of your bridge depends on factors such as your oral hygiene practices, the health of your abutment teeth, and regular dental check-ups and cleans at our Melbourne practice. Our dedicated team will provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your bridge to maximise its lifespan.
Caring for your dental bridge involves maintaining excellent oral hygiene. Brush your teeth twice daily, paying extra attention to the area around the bridge where the crowns meet your natural teeth. Flossing daily is also crucial to remove plaque and food particles from under the bridge and around the abutment teeth. Special floss threaders or interdental brushes can help you clean these hard-to-reach areas effectively. Regular check-ups and professional cleans by our skilled hygienists at Siana Dental in Hampton, Victoria, are essential for monitoring the health of your bridge and supporting teeth.

The primary alternatives to a dental bridge for replacing missing teeth include dental implants and removable partial dentures. Dental implants involve surgically placing artificial tooth roots into the jawbone, which can then support individual crowns, bridges, or dentures. Removable partial dentures are custom-made appliances that can be taken out for cleaning. Our dentists at our Melbourne practice can discuss the pros and cons of each option with you, along with our supportive team, to determine the most suitable solution for your individual needs and circumstances.
Initially, you may experience a slight adjustment period when eating with a new dental bridge. However, most patients quickly adapt and are able to eat normally.
