Lost a tooth (or two)?
Don’t worry, I’ve got a bridge for that!
Whether it’s chewing your favourite food without a second thought or flashing a confident smile, dental bridges by me make life feel complete again. Simple, reliable, and designed to keep you smiling.
Think of a dental bridge as the “handy little connector” in your mouth.
Lost a tooth?
No worries. I built a tiny bridge that fills the gap, keeps your other teeth from wandering off, and lets you chew, smile, and talk without stress. In short, it’s like replacing that one missing puzzle piece so your smile picture looks complete again. And yes, it feels as natural as your teeth!
Now that you know what a dental bridge is, let’s meet the different types, each with its personality.
Think of this as the “classic Netflix series” of dental bridges: reliable, binge-worthy, and everyone’s go-to.
A traditional dental bridge uses crowns on both sides to hold your new tooth (or teeth) in place. No surgery, no fuss; just a natural-looking, long-lasting solution that stays put (unlike those slippery dentures).
This one’s like a one-legged stool; useful, but you don’t want to jump on it.
A cantilever dental bridge is supported on just one side, making it a good option in specific cases. It only requires one tooth to be prepped, but it’s not ideal if you’ve got superhero chewing powers. Proceed with a little caution.
No drilling, no crowns; just wings. A Maryland bonded bridge (also called a resin-bonded bridge) attaches your new tooth with “retainer wings” glued to the backs of your natural teeth. Super gentle on your enamel, but it can feel a bit bulkier.
The catch? The bond may need a touch-up after a few years.
The strong, silent type.Instead of relying on your natural teeth, this bridge rests on dental implants for maximum strength and stability. It’s perfect for replacing multiple teeth, looks natural, and lasts ages.
Downside? It takes longer, since implants need time to settle in. But once it’s done, it’s rock solid.
Schedule A Consultation today, and let’s figure out which bridge is your perfect match.
Here’s the inside scoop on how I get your bridge in place: smooth, simple, and smile-ready.
First things first. I’ll take a good look at your smile (with a little help from X-rays). This helps me check the missing tooth area and surrounding gums so I can decide the best type of dental bridge for you. Think of it as me being your smile detective.
Next, I’ll prepare the neighboring teeth, your “support team.” I gently shape them so they can hold the crowns that will anchor your dental bridge. Don’t worry, I’ll keep it comfortable and quick.
Then comes the fun part, making a mold of your teeth. (No, it’s not as artsy as pottery, but close!). These impressions head to the dental lab, where your custom dental bridge is crafted to blend in beautifully with your natural teeth.
While your permanent bridge is being designed, I’ll pop in a temporary bridge. It’s like a stand-in actor keeping your smile safe until the star of the show arrives.
When your custom bridge is ready, we’ll try it on for size. I’ll check the fit, shape, and shade so it looks natural and feels comfortable. Small tweaks? No problem, I’m a perfectionist when it comes to smiles.
Once I’m happy with the fit, I’ll cement your bridge securely in place. Before you leave, I’ll also guide you on caring for it, from brushing and flossing to regular checkups, so your bridge not only looks great today but lasts for years to come
From chewing like a champ to grinning without second thoughts, it’s all in the package.
A smile that looks complete
No more hiding when the camera comes out! With a bridge in place, gaps are filled and teeth look uniform, a quick confidence upgrade.
Chewing without the awkwardness
Ever avoided your favorite crunchy snack because of a missing tooth? A bridge gets you back to munching and speaking clearly without the struggle.
Keeping teeth in their lane
When there’s an empty gap, nearby teeth love to “wander” (like nosy neighbors). A bridge keeps everyone in line and prevents bite issues down the road.
Built to last (with a little TLC)
Think of your dental bridge as the reliable friend who sticks around for years, as long as you brush, floss, and care for it properly.

Your new bridge is like a VIP guest in your mouth; it deserves a little extra attention.
Here’s my no-nonsense, slightly bossy (but caring!) guide to making sure it lasts
Brush & Floss Like a Pro
Think of your bridge as a diva; it doesn’t like being ignored. Brush and floss around it daily, especially under the pontic (that’s the “stand-in tooth”), so no food decides to move in rent-free.
Swish, Swirl, Smile
A fluoride rinse is like giving your teeth a superhero shield. One quick swish a day and you’re lowering the chances of sneaky cavities and other troublemakers.
Don’t Bite Rocks (or Hard Candy)
Okay, you wouldn’t bite rocks, but crunchy, hard foods can be just as rude to your bridge. Skip them, and your bridge will thank you for not putting it in danger.
Come See Me (Regularly, Please!)
Your bridge needs checkups, too. I’ll make sure it’s fitting perfectly, behaving well, and not plotting any dental drama.
Mouthguard = Bodyguard
If you grind or clench your teeth at night, let’s get your bridge a little security guard. A mouthguard keeps the stress off and prevents cracks or breakage.
Mind the Temperature Game
If your teeth get sensitive, steer clear of piping hot coffee or ice water. Your bridge prefers the “not too hot, not too cold” Goldilocks approach.
Ah, the golden question! “Doc, how much is this going to set me back?”
Don’t worry, I won’t leave you hanging. At my clinic, dental bridges start from about $1,500 per unit ( excluding GST).
But pricing depends on how many teeth we’re replacing, the type of bridge you choose (traditional, cantilever, or fancy-pants all-ceramic), and the materials involved. Think of it like shopping for shoes; same purpose, but very different styles and price tags.

A few quick truths
MediSave won’t cover it because bridges are considered a non-surgical treatment, so no claims can be made.
So, whether you’re team “just one tooth” or team “let’s fix the whole row,” I’ll make sure you know exactly what you’re paying for and why your bridge is worth every dollar.
A missing tooth isn’t just about chewing; it changes how you feel about your smile. I’ve helped patients regain both function and self-esteem through carefully crafted bridges.
My approach is to design bridges that blend in so perfectly that no one can tell where the bridge ends and your real teeth begin.
With the right care, your bridge can be a long-term investment in your smile, and I’ll guide you on how to keep it that way.

I’m here to take care of your smile
Getting a dental bridge is not painful because we use local anesthesia during the procedure. You may feel slight sensitivity or soreness afterward, but it usually settles in a few days.
Most dental bridges take two visits: one for preparation and impressions, and another for placement. Each visit usually lasts 1–2 hours.
Typically, you’ll need two visits. The first is to prepare your teeth and take impressions, and the second is to fit your permanent bridge.
If you have severe gum disease, weak supporting teeth, or multiple missing teeth in a row, a bridge may not be suitable. In such cases, dental implants or partial dentures could be better alternatives.
Dental bridges are quicker and less invasive, while implants are longer-lasting but involve surgery and higher costs. If you want a faster, more budget-friendly fix, a bridge may be ideal.
Yes, dental bridges are fixed restorations; they don’t come in and out like dentures. Once cemented, they stay in place securely.
Absolutely! Once you’ve adjusted, you can eat most foods with ease. However, very sticky or hard foods should be avoided as they may damage your bridge.
On average, dental bridges last 5–15 years. With excellent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, many last even longer.
Mild sensitivity, gum soreness, or difficulty speaking clearly can occur initially, but these usually improve quickly. Rare risks include tooth decay under the bridge or gum disease if oral hygiene isn’t maintained.
Most of the time, no one can tell! Bridges are custom-made to match your natural teeth in shape and shade. Unless you point it out, people will only notice your complete, confident smile.
Yes, regular check-ups are important to monitor your bridge and supporting teeth. Your dentist will check for fit, function, and any signs of decay or gum issues.
Dental bridges are not claimable under MediSave as they’re considered non-surgical. However, some private dental insurance plans may cover part of the cost.
