Tweed Heads Dental Bridges
7+
Years in the Industry.
At Tweed City Dental, we offer dental bridges to help restore the appearance and function of missing teeth. Our clinic in Tweed Heads provides options designed to fit comfortably and blend naturally with your existing smile. Bridges can be a reliable way to close gaps and maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth, preventing shifting and bite issues over time.
We know that choosing a dental bridge can feel like a big decision, so we take the time to explain the process and the options available. Whether it’s a traditional bridge anchored to natural teeth or an implant-supported bridge, we discuss what works best based on your oral health and personal preferences. By addressing gaps with a well-fitted bridge, we help support both function and appearance.

Supporting Oral Function with Dental Bridges
Replacing missing teeth isn’t just about appearance — it also helps maintain oral function. Bridges support proper chewing and speaking, while also preventing surrounding teeth from drifting into the gap. We tailor each bridge to fit comfortably, using durable materials that match the colour and shape of your natural teeth.
During a consultation, we assess the area and discuss the best type of bridge for your needs. Traditional bridges use crowns to anchor the replacement tooth, while implant-supported bridges offer a more permanent solution. We explain the steps involved and the expected outcome, so you know what to expect before, during, and after the procedure. Follow-up visits help monitor how the bridge is performing and ensure long-term comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of dental bridges?
There are four main types of dental bridges: traditional, cantilever, Maryland, and implant-supported. Traditional bridges are the most common and use crowns on adjacent teeth to anchor the replacement. Cantilever bridges are used when there’s only one supporting tooth next to the gap. Maryland bridges use a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth. Implant-supported bridges are secured directly to dental implants. The choice depends on the number of missing teeth, the location, and the condition of surrounding teeth.
How do I care for a dental bridge?
Caring for a dental bridge involves maintaining good oral hygiene and being mindful of the foods you eat. Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste helps keep the area clean, while flossing underneath the bridge removes trapped particles. Using a floss threader or a specialised dental brush can make cleaning easier. Regular check-ups are important for monitoring the bridge and the health of surrounding teeth. Your dentist may also recommend using an antibacterial mouthwash to reduce plaque build-up.
Are dental bridges noticeable?
Modern dental bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with natural teeth. The materials used, such as porcelain or ceramic, are chosen to match the shade and shape of surrounding teeth. Customisation during the fitting process helps achieve a natural look. While older types of bridges may have been more noticeable, current techniques and materials make them much less obvious. Discussing aesthetic preferences with your dentist helps ensure the bridge meets your expectations.
