Dental Bridges in Bondi
Fill the Gap with Custom Dental Bridges
A missing tooth can affect more than your appearance. It can make eating and speaking harder, and cause nearby teeth to shift out of place over time.
Bondi Family Dentist closes the gap with dental bridges for one or more missing teeth. Our aim is to provide a complete smile you can feel confident about. We’ll restore comfortable chewing and support clear speech, so your teeth function as well as they look.
What are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that bridges the gap left by missing teeth. It’s made up of one or more replacement teeth (called pontics) held firmly in place by the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap.
Bridges are custom-designed to match your surrounding teeth, so the result looks natural.

What Clients Say About Bondi Family Dentist
Types of Dental Bridges
After a thorough examination and discussion about your goals, we’ll recommend an option that gives you the most natural-looking result. The dental bridges we offer include:
Traditional bridges
Traditional bridges are the most common option. Crowns are placed on the healthy teeth on either side of the gap to anchor a replacement tooth in the middle. They’re ideal when you have strong natural teeth on both sides.
Cantilever bridges
Cantilever bridges are used when there’s only one natural tooth next to the gap. The replacement tooth is supported from a single side, making it a good fit for spaces at the edges of your smile.
Maryland bridges
Maryland bridges are a minimally invasive option. A framework is bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth, preserving more of your natural tooth structure, making them ideal for restoring your front teeth.
Implant-supported bridges
Implant-supported bridges provide excellent stability and are ideal when several teeth in a row are missing, without relying on neighbouring teeth for support.

Dental Bridges Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a dental bridge last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, a dental bridge can last for many years. Brushing twice a day and keeping up with your professional cleans all help extend its lifespan.
At your appointments, we’ll monitor your bridge and let you know if anything needs attention, so it stays comfortable and secure for as long as possible.

Dental bridge or dental implant, which is better?
Both are excellent options, and the right choice depends on your situation. Bridges are often faster and more affordable and don’t require surgery, while dental implants preserve more of your natural teeth and support long-term jawbone health.
