Dental Bridges
Tooth replacement holds significant importance in maintaining overall oral health. When natural teeth are lost for various reasons, it becomes important to address this issue promptly. The absence of teeth can lead to multiple oral health challenges, such as difficulty chewing, potential misalignment of surrounding teeth, and a negative impact on facial aesthetics.
Dental bridges stand out as an effective treatment option for tooth replacement. These custom-made prosthetic devices bridge the gap created by missing teeth, restoring function and appearance. By supporting adjacent teeth and promoting proper dental alignment, dental bridges play a vital role in preserving oral health and ensuring a confident, complete smile.
At Hills Dental Boutique, we provide tailored dental bridges to restore missing teeth and ensure optimal oral function and a natural-looking smile. Explore the personalised and effective tooth replacement options available at Hills Dental Boutique to regain confidence in your oral well-being.

More About Tooth Bridges
These consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The supporting teeth on either side of the gap are called abutments. Dental bridges are usually made from ain, metal, or both.
The two popular types of tooth bridges are traditional and implant-supported bridges. Traditional bridges are anchored to the natural teeth on either side of the gap, whereas implant-supported bridges use dental implants as support.
The purpose of dental bridges is to restore the function and aesthetics of the smile by filling in the gap left by missing teeth. Also, they help prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of position, maintain facial structure, and improve the patient’s overall oral health. Dental bridges can be customised to match the natural teeth’ colour, shape, and size for a seamless and natural appearance.

Dental Bridge Procedure At Hills Dental Boutique
At Hills Dental Boutique, our dental bridge procedure begins with a thorough mouth examination to ensure no existing dental issues like tooth decay or gum diseases. This may involve the use of X-rays and precise measurements of the teeth and mouth.
To prepare for the dental bridge, our dentist typically files down the two healthy teeth on either side of the gap, creating a foundation for the bridge. A mould is then taken to craft the custom bridge that perfectly fits your mouth.
While awaiting the completion of your permanent bridge, you may be provided with a temporary bridge. Once the permanent bridge is ready, the temporary one is removed, and the permanent bridge is securely put in place. The attachment is usually made with dental cement to the surrounding healthy teeth. Alternatively, the dentist might anchor the bridge using a dental implant surgically placed in the jaw. However, the suitability of dental implants will be assessed based on individual factors during the consultation. Regular check-ups are essential to monitor the effectiveness and stability of the dental bridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does a Dental Bridge Cost?
The cost of a dental bridge varies on factors like the type of bridge, materials used, and the dental practice’s location. Dental bridge costs typically range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. Consulting with our dentist will provide a more accurate estimate based on your needs.
Can I Get a Dental Bridge If I Have Missing Teeth?
Yes, you can get a dental bridge if you have missing teeth. Dental bridges are a common and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Our dentist at Hills Dental Boutique will assess your oral health, discuss suitable options, and determine the best course of action for your situation.
How Is a Dental Bridge Placed?
First, the adjacent teeth on either side of the gap are reshaped to prepare them to accommodate the bridge. Impressions are then taken to create a custom-made bridge. While the permanent bridge is being made, a temporary one is being fixed. Once ready, the permanent bridge is installed, typically using dental cement to secure it, restoring both function and appearance.
