Dental Bridges Auckland - Cost and Options
Missing a tooth, or a few in a row? A dental bridge fills the gap with a natural-looking replacement that's fixed in place, so you can eat, talk and smile normally again. At Noble Dental, our prosthodontic team designs and fits bridges at our Remuera and Takapuna clinics.
What is a dental bridge for missing teeth?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. It's made of a false tooth, called a pontic, held in place by crowns on the teeth either side of the gap. The bridge is cemented on, so you don't take it out like a denture. Bridges are made from porcelain, zirconia or a mix of materials, and they're colour-matched to your natural teeth.
How much does a dental bridge cost in NZ?
The cost depends on how many teeth are being replaced, the type of bridge, the material and how much preparation your teeth need. At Noble Dental, a traditional bridge starts from [PRICE] and an implant-supported bridge from [PRICE]. We'll talk you through the full cost at your consultation.
What changes the price:
- How many teeth are missing
- The type of bridge
- The material (porcelain or zirconia)
- Extra work, such as fillings, gum treatment or implants
Types of tooth bridges
- Traditional bridge: crowns on the teeth either side of the gap hold the false tooth. This is the most common type.
- Cantilever bridge: held by a crown on one side only. It suits gaps where there's a tooth on just one side.
- Resin-bonded bridge: a false tooth with small wings bonded to the back of the neighbouring teeth, so less reshaping is needed. It's mostly used for front teeth.
- Implant-supported bridge: held by dental implants instead of neighbouring teeth, so your healthy teeth aren't reshaped.
Your specialist will recommend the right type after checking your teeth, gums and bite.
Dental bridge or dental implant?
A bridge is quicker, usually takes two visits and doesn't need surgery. It's a good choice when the teeth next to the gap already have crowns or large fillings. A dental implant replaces the root as well, so it doesn't rely on neighbouring teeth, and it helps keep the jawbone strong. We'll explain both options so you can choose what suits you. Read more about dental implants.
How long does a dental bridge last?
With good care, a bridge often lasts 10 to 15 years, and sometimes longer. Brush twice a day, clean under the bridge with floss threaders or interdental brushes, and keep up your regular check-ups. Healthy gums matter too, because the teeth holding the bridge need firm support.
