Losing a tooth doesn’t just affect your smile it can impact your confidence, your ability to chew comfortably, and even the health of your surrounding teeth. At The Avenue Dental, we understand the emotional and practical toll that missing teeth can take. That’s why we offer custom made dental bridges to restore your smile with strength, stability, and a natural look that blends beautifully with your existing teeth.
Available from both our Toowoomba practice on Anzac Avenue and our Pittsworth clinic on Yandilla Street, dental bridges are a reliable solution for replacing one or more missing teeth, giving you back both function and confidence.
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. As the name suggests, it quite literally bridges the gap between two healthy teeth or implants. The bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) supported by dental crowns placed on the natural teeth (or implants) on either side of the space.
Bridges are securely cemented into place, meaning they’re not removable like dentures. Once fitted, they feel very similar to your natural teeth allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with ease.
At The Avenue Dental, every bridge we design is custom crafted for comfort, durability, and aesthetics. Our goal is to make sure your replacement teeth not only function beautifully but also look and feel like they’ve always belonged.
When a tooth is lost whether due to decay, trauma, or gum disease it’s more than just a gap in your smile.
Missing teeth can lead to:
By replacing the missing tooth with a dental bridge, you can restore balance to your bite, maintain the shape of your face, and prevent surrounding teeth from drifting out of place. This makes bridges both a cosmetic and a functional investment in your oral health.
We understand that dental treatment can feel overwhelming, especially when it involves replacing a missing tooth. That’s why we’re committed to gentle, step by step care at both our Toowoomba and Pittsworth locations.
Here’s what you can expect:
We begin with a thorough examination, including digital scans or X rays, to assess the gap, the health of surrounding teeth, and the best treatment options. If a bridge is suitable, we’ll explain the process in detail so you feel fully informed.
To prepare for the bridge, the supporting teeth (called abutments) are gently reshaped so crowns can be placed over them. We then take impressions to create a perfectly fitting, natural looking bridge.
While your permanent bridge is being crafted in the lab, we may fit a temporary one to protect your teeth and maintain appearance and function.
Once your bridge is ready, we’ll fit it carefully and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a snug, comfortable bite. The bridge is then permanently cemented into&nbs;place.
Throughout your treatment at either Toowoomba or Pittsworth, we’re here to answer questions, ease concerns, and make sure your experience is smooth and stress free.
With good care, a dental bridge can last for many years. We’ll show you the best way to clean around your bridge including flossing tools and techniques to keep your gums healthy and your restoration in great shape.
Regular checkups and professional cleans at The Avenue Dental also help us monitor your bridge and the health of the supporting teeth. If you live in Toowoomba, Pittsworth, or surrounding areas like Newtown, Rockville, Linthorpe, or Stoneleigh, we welcome you to include bridge maintenance in your routine visits.
One of the things our patients love most about dental bridges is how seamless they look. Crafted from tooth coloured materials and designed to match your natural smile, bridges restore not only the function of your teeth but also your confidence.
