Losing a tooth can be a distressing experience, affecting your confidence and oral function. At Wynnum Dentists, we offer a reliable and minimally invasive solution to restore your smile: resin-bonded bridges. These bridges provide a natural-looking replacement for your missing tooth without the need for extensive procedures.
Resin-bonded bridges are a popular choice for replacing a missing tooth, especially when the teeth adjacent to the gap are healthy and strong. Unlike traditional dental bridges that require the alteration of adjacent teeth, resin-bonded bridges are a conservative option. These bridges consist of a false tooth, known as a pontic, which is held in place by resin that is bonded to the adjacent natural teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, resin-bonded bridges require minimal enamel removal from neighboring teeth, making them a conservative tooth replacement option. At Wynnum Dentists, we specialize in offering this advanced resin dental bridges treatment in Brisbane, ensuring a perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics in restoring your smile.
To determine the quality of a dental bridge, consider several factors:
The lifespan of a dental bridge can vary but generally, a well-maintained resin-bonded bridge can last from 5 to 15 years or even longer. Longevity depends on factors like the quality of the bridge, the health of surrounding teeth, and oral hygiene practices, including regular dental check-ups
Caring for a dental bridge involves:
Getting a dental bridge is typically not painful, as the procedure is done under local anesthesia. Some mild discomfort or sensitivity is possible after the procedure, but it usually subsides quickly. Your dentist might recommend over-the-counter pain relievers if necessary. Proper care during the healing process can minimize discomfort.

A full denture is worn by patients who have lost all their teeth in either the upper or lower jaws, or both. The denture will replace your missing natural teeth and sit on the gum ridges, providing support to your lips and cheeks as well as maintaining the distance between your nose, mouth and chin. By choosing not to replace the missing teeth, this distance can become smaller over time.
A partial denture is used when a person still has one or more natural teeth remaining. The denture will replace the missing teeth and may be held in place by clasps that surround the remaining teeth. It may have an acrylic resin or metallic cobalt-chrome base. Your dentist may discuss these material options with you when planning for a denture.
A removable implant-retained denture is an alternative to the standard full lower denture. These dentures are partially supported and held in place by dental implants retained within the jawbone and partially supported by the gums. This denture can still be removed from the mouth by the person wearing it.
