Dental Bridges in Kalamunda
Hills Family Dental Centre offers bridges as a way to replace your missing teeth and give you back your smile. A bridge is a set of false teeth, known as pontics, attached to crowns. The crowns are placed over the natural teeth on either side of the gap left by the missing tooth or teeth.
Bridges are either fixed or removable and are usually made of porcelain, metal, or a combination of the two. Fixed bridges are cemented in place, while removable bridges can be taken out for cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Dental Bridges
How do dental bridges work?
Dental bridges are an important part of restoring your smile after tooth loss. The bridge is attached to the teeth on both sides of the gap, and false teeth are used to fill in the space. It not only improves your smile’s appearance but also helps prevent further tooth loss by protecting the abutment teeth from wear and tear.
The placement of a dental bridge is a simple process that can be completed in two visits to our office. First, the abutment teeth are prepared for placement. It involves removing a small amount of enamel from the abutment teeth, which allows the bridge to be attached securely. Then, impressions are taken of the teeth and sent to a dental lab for fabrication.
Once the bridge is complete, it is placed over the abutment teeth and secured with adhesive. You will then be able to enjoy a beautiful, functional smile!
What are the benefits of getting dental bridges?
Bridges are one of the most popular dentistry options for replacing missing teeth. And it’s no wonder why — they offer many benefits that can improve your quality of life.
- Dental bridges can restore your beautiful smile. If you’re self-conscious about your missing teeth, bridges can give you back the confidence to show off your smile.
- Dental bridges can make it easier to eat properly again. You may find it difficult to chew food properly if you’re missing teeth. It can lead to digestive problems and nutrition deficiencies. Bridges can help you eat more easily and get the nutrients your body needs.
- Dental bridges can improve your speech. If you have missing teeth, the gaps may be causing you to mumble or slur your words. Bridges can improve your ability to speak clearly and confidently.
- Dental bridges can preserve the shape of your face. When you lose teeth, the bones in your jaw begin to shrink. It can change the shape of your face and make you look older than you are. Dental bridges help to prevent this bone loss and keep your face looking young and healthy.
What should I expect after getting dental bridges?
Right after getting dental bridges, it is normal to experience numbness in your mouth, gums, and tongue. It is because of the local anesthetic, and it will take some time to wear off. To avoid biting your tongue or mouth, do not eat or drink until the numbness has completely worn off. Also, do not drive after the dental procedure, especially if you had anesthesia or sedation.
Once the anesthesia wears off, it is normal to experience some tenderness, bleeding, and tooth sensitivity. These symptoms should only last for a few days. You may also notice that your teeth feel different. This is due to the bridge attached to your existing teeth. That feeling will go away as soon as you get used to wearing your dental bridge.
How do I take care of my dental bridges?
Dental bridges are an excellent way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. But like any other dental restoration, bridges require care to stay clean and functional. Here are a few tips on how to take care of your bridges:
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. It will help remove plaque and food debris from the pontic teeth and keep your gums healthy.
- Floss between each pontic tooth daily. Get underneath the bridge and clean out any food particles or plaque build-up.
- Ensure that you see your dentist regularly for dental check-ups and cleanings. They will be able to give your bridge a thorough cleaning and check for any issues.
- Avoid hard, sticky, and chewy foods. These can damage the pontic teeth or loosen the supporting crowns.
- Avoid foods and drinks high in sugar and acid. Sugar can cause cavities, while acid can erode tooth enamel. Both can lead to problems with your dental bridge. Try to limit sugary snacks and acidic beverages like soda, coffee, and citrus juices.
Are dental bridges painful?
The good news is that this dentistry procedure is relatively pain-free. Your dentist will numb the area with local anesthesia before starting work on your dental bridge.
Once the dental bridge is placed, you might feel uncomfortable while you’re getting used to wearing it. However, you should not feel any pain. If you do experience pain, please get in touch with your dentist.
How much do dental bridges cost?
Dental bridges differ in cost according to the type of bridge and the number of missing teeth that need to be replaced. Bridges start at around $1,350.
