Dental Bridges Toronto

What Is A Dental Bridge?

Dental Bridges are a custom-made, fixed or non-removable prosthesis used to restore gaps and replace one or more missing teeth. They are permanently bonded in place to provide a long-term solution for missing teeth

Purposes of Dental Bridges

Replacing missing teeth
Preventing movement of other teeth
Fixing the aesthetics of your smile
Full mouth rehabilitation
Dental Implant therapy

How is a Dental Bridge prepared?

We prepare the abutments for crowns when preparing teeth for a bridge, just as described in crowns. After taking an imprint of the prepared teeth, we place a temporary bridge or crowns to protect the teeth and maintain their positions. We then send the imprint to a dental laboratory for bridge fabrication.On the next visit, we fit the bridge for a satisfactory fit and secure it in place.

Do you really need to replace a missing tooth?

If you have missing teeth, it's important to consider replacing them as soon as possible. The surrounding teeth and those on the opposite arch can begin to shift out of place, leading to several oral health issues such as:

Increased risk of tooth decay
Uneven wear and bite force
Impact on the feel of your bite and appearance of your smile

Here at City Oasis Dental in Toronto, we offer crowns and bridge services to our patients. If you have missing teeth, please call us at 647-980-1200 and book a consultation with our dentist to discuss your options.

When is a dental bridge recommended?

A dental bridge is recommended when one or more teeth are missing and you want a fixed, non-removable solution to restore the gap. On this page, City Oasis Dental explains that bridges can help replace missing teeth, prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, improve the appearance of your smile, and support overall function.

How long do dental bridges last?

This specific page describes dental bridges as a long-term solution for missing teeth, but it does not give a set lifespan on this URL. The longevity of a bridge can depend on factors such as oral hygiene, bite forces, and regular dental care, so City Oasis Dental can give you a more specific expectation during your consultation.

Is a bridge better than an implant?

This page does not directly say that a bridge is better than an implant, or vice versa. It presents dental bridges as one option for replacing missing teeth and also references dental implant therapy, so the best choice depends on your oral health, the number of missing teeth, and your treatment goals. A consultation with City Oasis Dental is the best way to compare your options.
