Dental Bridge in Pakenham

A dental bridge is a fixed solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. At Cardinia Dental, we provide dental bridges in Pakenham to help restore your smile, improve chewing function and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge is made up of two or more crowns that anchor onto natural teeth on either side of a gap. These supporting teeth are called abutment teeth. The false tooth or teeth in between are known as pontics and are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural smile.

When is a dental bridge recommended?

Our Pakenham dentist may recommend dental bridge option if you:

Have one or more missing teeth
Want a fixed alternative to removable dentures
Have healthy teeth on either side of the gap
Want to restore chewing, speech and appearance
Wish to prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting

Depending on the quality of your teeth that support the dental bridge, fillings or dental implants may be required to increase the increase of the abutment teeth.

The dental bridge process

Dental bridge treatment begins with a consultation at our dental clinic in Pakenham. During this visit, our cosmetic dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your options and determine whether a dental bridge is the most suitable solution.

The process typically involves:

Preparing the supporting teeth for crowns
Taking impressions to create a custom bridge
Placing a temporary bridge if required
Cementing the final bridge in place once ready

Your dentist will ensure the bridge fits comfortably and looks natural.
