Dental bridges are fixed prosthetics cemented onto natural teeth or dental implants to replace missing teeth. Going to your dentist is the only way to remove a dental bridge, unlike dentures that you can remove yourself. We offer dental bridges in NW Calgary to restore your teeth.
If you are missing one or more teeth, your dentist may recommend dental bridges near you to fill the gaps. A dental bridge can be cemented onto your natural teeth or implants, which act as anchors for the bridge.
Gaps caused by missing teeth affect the alignment of adjacent teeth, causing them to drift out of their proper positions and leading to a bad bite. This heightens the risk of gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

A dental bridge is a fixed replacement for one or more missing teeth. Crowns on your healthy neighboring teeth (or implants) support a false tooth in between.
With good maintenance and care, a dental bridge can last many years, often 10 years or longer, depending upon how you care for your replacement tooth.
You might experience mild discomfort during the preparation process, but your dentist will administer any numbing agents necessary so you feel very little pain.
Be sure to brush your teeth twice daily, floss both around and under the bridge, and see your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings.
Most people can get a bridge, if they have healthy adjacent teeth or healthy implants, and have healthy gums; your dentist will evaluate if you are a good candidate.
