Restore Function and Confidence with Dental Bridges in Nambour

What Are Dental Bridges and Why Might You Need One?

Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth on either side. This helps restore your bite, improve speech, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.

Bridges are a durable and natural-looking solution for patients who are not suitable for implants or are looking for a fixed alternative to dentures.

The Nambour Dental Difference: Our Approach to Dental Bridges

At Nambour Dental, we tailor every bridge to suit your individual needs and preferences. We use quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure your bridge blends seamlessly with your smile.

From your first consultation to final placement, our caring team will explain each step and make sure you're comfortable throughout the process. With a focus on long-term function and appearance, you’ll feel confident in your results.

The Dental Bridge Process: What to Expect

Consultation and Treatment Planning

We’ll begin with a full examination, discuss your goals, and assess whether a bridge is right for you. X-rays or scans may be taken to plan treatment accurately.

Tooth Preparation and Temporary Bridge

The teeth on either side of the gap are gently prepared, and impressions are taken. A temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth while the final one is crafted.

Final Bridge Placement

At your follow-up visit, we’ll fit and cement your custom-made bridge. We’ll check the fit, bite and appearance before permanently bonding it into place.
