Dental Bridges.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth with a custom-made prosthesis fixed to the teeth either side of the gap. It restores the ability to chew, prevents neighbouring teeth from drifting, and blends with your natural smile. With our in-house CEREC digital workflow, in many cases we can scan your mouth, design the bridge, and mill it from a solid block of porcelain in a single visit — no putty impressions, no temporary bridge, no two-week wait. Bridges can be a strong choice when implants aren't suitable — but we always discuss both options at consultation. Typical investment: $5,000–$7,000 for a single-tooth or short bridge, with flexible payment plans from approximately $45/week.

Before & after.
Real dental bridges cases treated at Leichhardt Dental Centre.
If teeth adjacent to the missing teeth need restoration, a dental bridge can be a quick, cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing way of maximising treatment outcomes.
Significant transformation achieved by a dental bridge with minimal intervention. Well-made bridges can serve 10–15 years before they need replacement.
Individual results vary — this is not a guarantee of outcome. These are real, unaltered photographs of patients treated at this practice, published with their consent. What is achievable in your own case can only be determined at a consultation, and it is wise to seek a second opinion before any significant treatment.
How dental bridges is delivered.
- Step 01
Consultation & examination
We begin with a conversation about what you're noticing and what you want from your teeth long-term. A clinical examination and any imaging needed follows.
- Step 02
Findings & plan
Dr. Nick walks you through what he sees, what's urgent, what's optional, and what can wait. No surprises, no pressure — just a clear picture and your options.
- Step 03
Treatment
Appointments scheduled around your life. Everything explained as we go. Time taken to do the work properly.
- Step 04
Maintenance
Regular check-ups keep small problems small. We'll agree on a recall interval that makes sense for your mouth.
Risks & considerations
Preparation of neighbouring teeth is permanent — the shape cannot be undone. Bridges are durable but not lifetime devices; expect to need replacement or adjustment over 10–15 years depending on hygiene and bite forces. Where implants are clinically suitable they may offer better long-term jawbone preservation — we'll cover both options honestly at consultation.
All dental procedures carry potential risks and benefits. Individual results vary. A consultation with a registered dental practitioner is required to determine whether a treatment is suitable for you.
