Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a restorative solution designed to renew your smile by replacing one or multiple missing teeth. It works as a fixed replacement that is custom made to fill in the gaps between your teeth.

Having a dental bridge is a less invasive solution than other treatments, and it can last for many years with proper oral care. This durable tooth replacement may not only provide your smile with a natural appearance, but it can also reduce the risks associated with missing teeth.

Why would a dental bridge need to be used?

A missing tooth can reduce your confidence, but there are also other issues associated with it. When there is a gap, the adjoining teeth tend to move towards it, putting your teeth at risk of weakening. Dental bridges can prevent your adjoining teeth from moving into the empty gaps, as well as restore your smile.

How are dental bridges fitted?

Your dentist will prepare the teeth then take impressions of your teeth in order to design a custom bridge just for you. However, fitting it requires at least one or two healthy teeth to be next to the gap as they will work as a foundation for the bridge. Once it is designed for you, your dentist will carefully place it into the gap and fix it to the adjoining teeth, creating a ‘bridge’.
