What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom-made replacement for one or more missing teeth that literally “bridges” the gap. Made from various materials like porcelain or ceramics, bridges restore your smile’s functionality and aesthetics.
The Cost Factor
We believe in transparent pricing. The cost of a dental bridge at Sydney Teeth Whitening varies depending on the type of bridge and materials used. Our team provides detailed consultations to help you understand the options and associated costs.
Factors Influencing the Cost
The cost of a dental bridge can vary based on several factors:
- Type of Bridge: Traditional bridges, cantilever bridges, and Maryland bridges each have different price points.
- Materials Used: Choices range from porcelain fused to metal, all-ceramic, or all-metal bridges, affecting the cost.
- Complexity of the Case: The number of teeth needing replacement and the complexity of the placement can influence the price.
- Additional Treatments: Sometimes, additional treatments like fillings or root canals are necessary, which can affect the overall cost.

We believe financial constraints shouldn’t prevent you from getting the best dental care. That’s why we offer a variety of payment options and plans to suit different budgets. Our team can assist you in finding a plan that works for you, ensuring your dental health doesn’t take a backseat due to financial concerns.
Insurance and Coverage

FAQs About Dental Bridges
How long does a dental bridge last?
The lifespan of a dental bridge can vary depending on several factors, including the type of bridge, the materials used, and how well it's cared for. On average, dental bridges can last between 5 to 15 years, or even longer with proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups. Maintaining good oral health practices, such as brushing and flossing daily and avoiding hard or sticky foods, can significantly extend the life of your dental bridge.
What are the different types of dental bridges available?
There are several types of dental bridges, each designed to meet different needs. The most common types include:
Traditional Bridges: These are the most popular type of bridges and are used when you have natural teeth on both sides of the gap left by the missing tooth.Cantilever Bridges: Similar to traditional bridges, but the pontic is supported by an abutment on only one side, instead of both sides.Maryland Bridges: These bridges are considered a conservative alternative to traditional bridges. They consist of a pontic that is held in place by a metal or porcelain framework. This framework is bonded onto the backs of the two adjacent teeth.Implant-Supported Bridges: Used when you have more than one tooth missing. These bridges are supported by dental implants rather than crowns or frameworks.Each type has its advantages and suitability depending on the specific situation of the patient.
Can dental insurance cover the cost of a dental bridge?
Yes, many dental insurance plans do cover a portion of the cost of dental bridges. However, the extent of coverage can vary greatly depending on your specific insurance policy. Some plans may cover a significant portion of the total cost, while others might only cover a small percentage or have certain limitations. It's important to check with your insurance provider to understand the specifics of your coverage. At Sydney Teeth Whitening, we can assist you in navigating your insurance benefits to ensure you maximise your coverage for dental bridge procedures.
