What Is a Dental Bridge?
Dental bridges are common dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. It uses pontics, or prosthetic teeth that we anchor on either your neighbouring natural teeth or dental implants.
Bridges are a reliable option for restoring function and appearance after tooth loss. Replacing your missing teeth with a bridge also prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting out of place, which helps maintain proper alignment and bite function.
Implant-Supported Crowns and Bridges
In addition to traditional crowns and bridges, Wahroonga Village Dentistry offers implant-supported options. These restorations are attached to dental implants, small titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone.
Implant-supported crowns are ideal for replacing a single missing tooth, while implant-supported bridges can replace multiple teeth without relying on adjacent natural teeth for support. These solutions offer excellent stability and help preserve bone health by stimulating the jaw.
Our dentists will carefully evaluate your needs and oral health to determine if you’re a good candidate for implant-supported restorations.
