The average cost of a dental composite bridge in Melbourne ranges between $800-$1,200. While a porcelain bridge could be anywhere between $3,000 – $6,000.

The cost of dental bridge depends on the type of bridge, the type of material used and the condition of the abutment teeth whether it needs extra work prior to doing the dental bridge.

Prior to the evolution of modern dental implants, dental bridges were the go to option to replace single or multiple missing teeth, and they are still a brilliant option today.

Dental bridges are quicker to execute and seem less invasive. From start to finish the process usually takes 2 visits over 2-3 weeks, whereas dental implants can take 3 months or sometimes even longer to complete.

However, there is a trade off for the quicker result. When engaging the teeth next door as abutments, the fate of the dental bridge is determined by the health of your adjacent teeth. If the tooth fails, the bridge fails.

A dental crown is a “cap” made of porcelain or any other material to cover the whole surface of the tooth. They are usually recommended if you have large fillings or tooth decay that is irreparable with composite fillings.

Dental bridges, on the other hand, are used when you have a tooth missing or lost. A false tooth, also known as a pontic, is attached to the real teeth on either side of the gap to replace the missing tooth.

Both dental crowns and bridges are usually made with porcelain or metal, or a mixture of both.
