Having not one but multiple missing teeth can make life harder. Chewing feels off and one-sided. Smiling feels different and second-guessed. The gaps are a daily reminder that your natural denture is incomplete.
At Alpha Dental & Implant Centre, our custom dental bridges look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Strong, seamless, and built to last. Bring back your smile.
A dental bridge is exactly what it sounds like – a bridge for your teeth. It fills the empty space left by one or more missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance.
Made of artificial teeth, bridges are secured by two dental crowns on the adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants. Unlike dentures, they stay fixed in place, letting you eat, speak, and laugh without worry.
At Alpha Dental, we offer traditional bridges, implant-supported bridges, Maryland bridges, and cantilever bridges, each made for a proper fit and a natural appearance.
Getting a dental bridge isn’t complicated, but it’s good to know what’s coming to make it easier. Here’s how it works at Alpha Dental & Implant Centre:
First, we check your remaining teeth and gums. X-rays (if needed) can help us spot any gum disease or tooth decay that could affect your bridge. If everything looks good, we move forward.
Not all teeth are strong enough to support a bridge. We check your adjacent healthy teeth to make sure they can handle the extra load. If needed, we’ll discuss other treatment options.
We take a detailed mould of your teeth and gums. This ensures your custom-made dental bridge fits comfortably and looks natural. No awkward gaps, no weird bite issues but a smooth, snug fit.
The adjacent healthy teeth need minor reshaping to hold the bridge in place. This makes room for the two dental crowns that will anchor your new teeth.
While your custom bridge is being made, we fit temporary artificial teeth. It protects your teeth and keeps your smile intact while you wait for the final version.
Once your fixed bridge is ready, we cement it in place. We make small adjustments to ensure a proper fit, so it feels natural from day one.
Most patients get their final bridge within two to three weeks. The timeline depends on your dental needs, but we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
Dental bridges aren’t for everyone, but it might be right for you if:

A dental bridge in Australia typically costs between $3,000 and $5,000 for a 3-unit fixture, depending on the type and materials used. Traditional bridges are usually more affordable, while implant-supported bridges cost more. The exact price depends on your unique needs, which we’ll assess during your consultation.
A single-tooth bridge costs just under a thousand AUD and can go up to $1,800 in Adelaide. The price varies based on the type of bridge. The material, number of adjacent teeth involved, and any additional treatments also affect the cost.
If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly option, partial dentures or dental bonding may be alternatives. Partial dentures are removable and cost less but may not feel as natural. Dental bonding is also ideal for small gaps but isn’t as durable as dental bridges.
Yes, in some cases! With the right team of dentists, tools and technology, a same-day bridge may be possible. However, most bridges require multiple visits for a proper fit and lasting results. Once it’s all done, you might feel a little sensitivity at first, but that fades quickly.
A dental bridge typically lasts 5 to 15 years, depending on care and material quality. With regular check-ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding hard foods, it can last even longer. The better you treat it, the longer it stays strong.
