If you’re looking to replace missing teeth, then a dental bridge in Calgary may be for you. It provides a durable option for replacing missing teeth and is used to literally “bridge” the gap from a lost tooth or multiple teeth.
Our team at 16th Avenue Dental offers several tooth replacement options, including bridges. Visit us to help restore your smile and dental function. Schedule a consultation today.
What is a Tooth Bridge in Calgary?
Dental bridges work by crowning the adjacent teeth on each side of the lost tooth, and the replacement tooth is fused in between. We may use a white dental filling to build up the anchor teeth if they have old fillings or tooth decay.
What is a Dental Bridge Made Of?
Like a dental crown, a dental bridge can be made from gold, porcelain, or porcelain-fused-to-metal. Each material has different benefits and considerations. For example, porcelain is the most natural-looking option, but it costs more than gold bridges. Porcelain-fused-to-metal blends the aesthetic benefits of porcelain with the durability and longevity of metal.
The Dental Bridge Process
After a consultation with our general dentist, we’ll determine the most suitable type of dental bridge for your needs. Then, we capture the necessary dental scans to create a map for creating your personalized restoration. Additionally, we prepare the neighboring teeth for the crowns we must install to support the bridge.
Next, we customize each tooth restoration to look and feel natural, with color-matching for a seamless appearance. Finally, we cement the crowns in place and attach your bridge to help complete your smile.
