Restore your beautiful smile.
If you are self-conscious about the gaps in your teeth, a dental bridge can close those gaps and give you a more uniform, aesthetically pleasing appearance.
Maintain the natural shape of your face.
Whenever you lose a tooth, the bone supporting it begins to resorb and also changes your face's shape. A bridge can prevent these changes by bridging the gap left by a missing tooth.
Restore your ability to speak.
Missing teeth can change the way your teeth come together, which makes it difficult to pronounce certain words properly. However, dental bridges can fill this gap and improve your speech.
Prevent your teeth from shifting.
Dental bridges fill the space left behind by a missing tooth, preventing the surrounding teeth from shifting. As a result, it improves your smile's appearance and keeps your adjacent teeth healthy and in proper alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Dental Bridges
process and what to expect. Let’s take a look at some of the most commonly asked questions
about dental bridges below.
How is a dental bridge attached?
Attaching your custom-made dental bridge usually involves two dental visits. During the first visit, the bridge dentist in Maryborough will prepare the abutment teeth (the teeth adjacent to the space) by removing a small amount of enamel from their surfaces. This way, the dental crowns supporting the bridge can be added later without causing these teeth to become too bulky.
Next, impressions are taken of your mouth so that the bridge can be custom-made for you by a dental laboratory technician. A temporary bridge may also be made during this process so that you don’t have to wait for your final bridge while it is being made.
At your second visit, about two weeks later, your bridge dentist will remove the temporary bridge. They will also check if the final bridge will fit comfortably before attaching it to your teeth with cement or another bonding agent. It’s an easy process, and you can now smile with confidence!
How long does a dental bridge procedure take?
Getting a dental bridge is usually a two-visit procedure; each visit can last from one to two hours. In some cases, a third visit may be required to check that the bridge is fitted properly and that there are no issues with gum health. Overall, the process of getting a dental bridge can take several weeks from start to finish, but it is a relatively straightforward dental procedure.
Can a dental bridge be removed and reused?
The answer depends on the condition of the supporting teeth. The dental bridge can usually be removed and re-cemented if it’s still in good condition. However, if the supporting teeth have decayed over the years, the bridge or crown may need to be replaced.
Mary Dental River can help you determine whether your bridge can be reused. The bridge dentist in our clinic will be able to assess the condition of your beautiful teeth and make a recommendation based on your case.
How do you clean a dental bridge?
It’s important to keep your dental bridge clean, just like your natural teeth. Here are some of the essential tips for cleaning a dental bridge:
- Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently brush away any plaque buildup. Be sure to brush all bridge surfaces, including under the pontic (false tooth). Using hard-bristled toothbrushes can potentially scratch the surface of the bridge.
- Brush all sides of the bridge, including the inside surfaces that touch your gum line.
- Floss gently under and around the bridge each day. This will help remove plaque and food particles that can get trapped underneath.
- Rinse with cool, clean water. Using hot water can damage artificial materials.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners and toothpaste. These can damage the delicate surface of your dental bridge and cause long-term damage.
By following these simple measures, you can keep your dental bridge clean and looking great for years to come.
How much does a dental bridge cost?
The cost of a dental bridge depends on several factors, such as the materials used, how complex the placement is, and how many pontics are required. Here is a list of the following types of bridges with their average price range:
- Cantilever Bridge with Crown: $2,920 – $5,500
- Maryland Bridge: $1,250 to $2,300
- Traditional Bridge with Two Crowns: $4,615 – $8,000
However, the cost mentioned above is just an estimate. If you want to get an exact price quote for your dental bridge treatment, schedule an appointment with our friendly team at Mary River Dental. We would be happy to answer any questions and provide a detailed price quote as well as a treatment plan based on your unique needs.
Will my health fund cover the cost of a dental bridge?
Most insurance companies will cover at least a portion of the cost of a dental bridge. However, the level of coverage can vary depending on the provider and plan, so you should check with your insurance provider to see if you have any benefits that could help offset the cost.
Our dental team will also be delighted to assist you in getting an accurate estimate of your out-of-pocket costs for dental bridges. Please give us a call today to learn more about how we can help you restore your smile. We look forward to assisting you with all of your dental needs.
