Dental Clinic Richmond Hill Vaughan

Advertisement Description:

Loss of a tooth not only affects your smile but it also leads to problems such as instability in the surrounding teeth, pain and discomfort. Sometimes, a missing tooth can alter the structure of your face and change your appearance.

A dental bridge is a bridge that is used to fill up the gap caused by a missing tooth. It is made up of false teeth called pontics that are held together by anchoring teeth (also known as abutment teeth) on either side of the missing tooth.

Our dental clinic in Woodbridge has expert dentists and surgeons who are professionally trained and have performed hundreds of dental bridge procedures successfully.

What is a Dental Bridge Made of?
A dental bridge is custom-made. It is usually made of materials such as gold, silver, metal alloys, porcelain-fused-to-metal or zirconia.
Our dentists may use traditional putty or digital imaging to take impressions of your teeth. The impressions are sent to dental laboratory for making crowns. Sometimes dental bridges take some time to process.
Hence, temporary bridges are placed to help restore your appearance.

Types of Dental Bridges
• Traditional – Traditional dental bridges feature a false tooth/teeth that are held in place by dental crowns cemented over abutment teeth.
• Maryland – This is similar to a traditional dental bridge. However, for a Maryland dental bridge procedure, our dentists will use a framework of porcelain or metal that is bonded to the back of the abutment teeth.
• Cantilever – In a cantilever dental bridge, the pontic is held in place using a dental crown that is cemented only to one abutment tooth.
• Implant-supported dental bridge – Implants are used to support the bridge and they are surgically placed into the jaw. An implant-supported bridge can help preserve the jawbone. This bridge provides the maximum support and delivers lasting results.

We have trained and experienced surgeons at our dental clinic in Woodbridge. They will assess your dental condition and overall health to help you choose a dental bridge procedure that’s best suited for you.
Advantages of Getting a Dental Bridge
A dental bridge procedure will:
• Restore your speech and pronunciation.
• Restore your smile and confidence.
• Restore your ability to chew properly.
• Maintain jaw structure and the shape of your face.
• Provide stability to the surrounding teeth and gums.
• Last for 10-15 years if you maintain good oral hygiene.

Caring for Your Dental Bridges
Any dental procedure is only as effective as the care and maintenance you put it. Good oral hygiene is important when you want your dental bridges to last for years.
Brush twice a day, floss regularly and use an antiseptic mouthwash to prevent any tooth decay. Maintain a healthy diet and avoid overindulging in sugary foods. Visit the dentist regularly for dental examination and professional cleaning.
