Dental Bridges in Harrisdale
What Are Dental Bridges?
A lost tooth can have an impact on your appearance and self-confidence.
Dental bridges are a great way to replace missing teeth and help fill gaps in your smile.
It is a permanent prosthesis that replaces one or more missing teeth by using healthy, natural teeth as abutments for the false tooth. It can help bridge gaps that other techniques, such as dental crowns or implants, are unable to cover. The most popular type is the cantilever bridge, which uses an artificial tooth crown on top of anchor (abutment) teeth that will bond securely together through the use of pressure from other nearby healthy ones.
If you want to know if a dental bridge is the perfect option for you, schedule a consultation appointment with Piara Waters Dental Clinic in Harrisdale, Western Australia, today! We can go over all of the specifics of the process to determine what actions need to be taken before determining how to proceed with treatment.
Benefits of
Teeth Whitening

Improved Chewing Function
Tooth loss is never fun, but it can be especially uncomfortable when you eat food with your mouth. The shifting of the adjacent teeth toward a gap might cause pain in addition to gum damage from particles getting trapped under where our former tooth was-that's why we recommend traditional bridge treatment for this!

Prevent Bone Loss
If left untreated, tooth loss might result in bone loss in your jawbone. The tooth roots stimulate the bone tissue in your jawbone. The jawbones begin to deteriorate if they are not stimulated. You may lose other teeth as a result of jaw bone loss, and your facial structures may change. Because the titanium screw stimulates the jawbone, a permanent option such as an implant-supported dental bridge can help in this case.

Improve self-confidence
Dental bridges can improve people's self-esteem and quality of life by restoring the appearance and function of their teeth. It may also be beneficial for those who are concerned about the aesthetic appearance of their teeth following tooth extraction.

Speech Improvement
Missing several teeth may impair your ability to pronounce certain words and result in a lisp. You can improve your speech by addressing the tooth loss that is causing your communication problems. Your permanent teeth have a big influence on how words form when you talk. Dental bridges can help in the treatment of voice issues caused by tooth loss.

Maintaining Your Teeth's Alignment
If you lose a tooth, it can cause your remaining teeth to shift, causing misalignment. Healthy teeth that shift can become loose and cause further damage. A tooth replacement, or prosthetic root, will help prevent the realignment of your remaining natural teeth, preventing you from having crooked teeth that may compromise your overall appearance and oral health.

FAQ’s About Teeth Whitening
What Happens During A Dental Bridge Procedure?
- During the initial dental visit, the abutment teeth for a dental bridge are prepared. During this dental procedure, a layer of surface enamel is removed from the teeth to allow for the placement of a dental crown over them.
- To create the dental restoration, the dentist takes a mould of the natural teeth and transfers it to a dental laboratory. Your dentist will place a temporary bridge to protect your teeth from harm and irritation while they are being restored.
- At your second appointment, your temporary bridge will be removed, and your new porcelain or metal bridge will be fitted to your specifications. Depending on the patient’s situation, more than one visit may be needed to guarantee the metal framework fits properly.
- In some instances, the dentist may temporarily bond your permanent bridge to ensure a proper fit for a few weeks. After a few weeks, your fixed bridge will be securely cemented.
