Dental Bridges

Has a missing tooth left a gap in your smile? A dental bridge can replace the missing tooth, helping you chew more comfortably and restoring a natural, balanced appearance.

At Dental Galleria, we provide custom dental bridges for patients in Putney, Ryde and nearby areas. Our dentists will talk you through your options and carefully plan a bridge that feels secure, looks natural and suits your everyday needs.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

Dental Bridge

A dental bridge is a fixed dental treatment used to replace one or more missing teeth. It closes the gap with a custom-made replacement tooth, supported by the natural teeth beside it or, in some cases, by dental implants.

A well-fitted dental bridge can make eating and speaking feel easier while restoring a more complete appearance. Each bridge is carefully shaped and colour-matched to the surrounding teeth, helping it sit comfortably and blend naturally with your smile.

Has a missing tooth started to affect the way you eat, speak or feel about your appearance? Book a consultation at Dental Galleria and let our dentists talk you through the dental bridge options that may suit you.

We begin by checking the gap, your bite and the teeth nearby. We’ll talk through your options and make sure a dental bridge is the right choice for your needs.

Step 2.
Preparing the Supporting Teeth

For a traditional dental bridge, the teeth beside the gap are gently shaped to support the restoration. Local anaesthetic is used to help keep you comfortable during this part of the appointment.

Step 3.
Taking a Digital Scan

A detailed digital scan is taken to capture the shape of your teeth and the space being restored. This helps us plan a bridge that fits comfortably and blends with your natural teeth.

Step 4. Protecting the Area

A temporary bridge may be placed while your custom bridge is being made. This helps protect the prepared teeth and allows you to eat and speak more comfortably between visits.

Step 5. Fitting Your Dental Bridge

Once your bridge is ready, our dentist will check its fit, appearance and how your teeth come together. After any small adjustments, it is securely fitted, and we’ll show you how to care for it at home.

Before and After Dental Bridge Treatment

Before treatment, a missing tooth may make chewing feel awkward, leave nearby teeth less supported or affect how comfortable you feel when speaking and smiling. A dental bridge is designed to close the gap with a fixed restoration that feels secure and blends naturally with the surrounding teeth.

After your dental bridge is fitted, you may notice:

Dental Crown vs Dental Bridge: What Is the Difference?

Dental Bridge Can Make A Difference

Dental crowns and dental bridges can both restore the appearance and function of your teeth, but they are used for different reasons. A dental crown covers and protects an existing tooth that has become cracked, worn, weakened or heavily filled. A dental bridge is used when one or more teeth are missing, filling the space with a fixed replacement supported by the teeth nearby or by dental implants.

Choosing between a dental crown and a bridge can feel a little confusing, especially when you are unsure what your tooth needs. At Dental Galleria, our dentists will carefully check your teeth and bite, explain the suitable options in simple terms and help you make a decision that feels right for your comfort, oral health and everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions

A dental bridge can last for many years with good daily care and regular dental check-ups. Its lifespan will depend on the condition of the supporting teeth, your bite and how well the area is kept clean.

Dental bridge treatment commonly takes two or more visits. The first appointment is used to prepare the teeth and take a digital scan, while the final visit is for checking and fitting the completed bridge.

You can brush a dental bridge much like your natural teeth, but the area underneath also needs gentle cleaning. Our dentist can show you how to use floss threaders or small interdental brushes to keep the bridge and supporting teeth healthy.

Dental Galleria provides dental bridge consultations and treatment at our Putney clinic, close to Ryde and surrounding suburbs. Our dentists can examine the gap, explain your options clearly and help you decide whether a bridge is suitable for your needs.
