Missing teeth can affect how your bite functions and how your teeth are supported over time.
At Strathpoint Dental Clinic, dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth and help restore balance to your bite. Leaving a gap can lead to shifting in nearby teeth and changes in how your teeth come together. A bridge fills that space and helps maintain everyday function.
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth.
It is secured in place using neighbouring teeth or dental implants, allowing the replacement tooth to remain stable during daily use. Each bridge is designed to align with your bite and function alongside your natural teeth.
In addition to replacing missing teeth, a bridge helps maintain spacing and distribute pressure more evenly across your bite.
You may benefit from a dental bridge if you:
A dental exam allows us to assess your needs and determine whether a bridge is appropriate, along with any alternative options.
Dental bridge treatment typically takes place over two appointments.
During the first visit, the teeth supporting the bridge are prepared, and impressions or digital scans are taken to create a restoration that fits your bite. A temporary bridge is placed to protect the area while your final bridge is being made.
At the second visit, the final bridge is placed and adjusted to ensure proper fit and alignment before being secured.
With consistent oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a dental bridge can provide long-term function.
We will show you how to clean around your bridge and maintain the surrounding teeth so everything remains stable over time.
