What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. A bridge fills the space with one or more artificial teeth supported by neighbouring teeth, dental crowns, or dental implants.
A dental bridge can help restore the appearance of your smile and improve chewing function. It may also help prevent nearby teeth from gradually shifting into the open space.
If you are looking for a dentist in Riverdale to discuss replacing a missing tooth, we provide gentle care, clear communication, and practical treatment options. Before recommending treatment, our team examines your teeth, gums, bite, and the area surrounding the missing tooth.
What Are the Benefits of Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges can support your smile, bite, and daily comfort. They may help with:
Chewing support
A bridge can help distribute biting pressure more evenly and make chewing easier.
Smile appearance
It fills the space left by one or more missing teeth.
Speech support
Replacing missing teeth may improve speech affected by gaps.
Tooth alignment
A bridge may help reduce the movement of neighbouring teeth into the empty space.
Bite support
Replacing missing teeth can help restore balance to your bite.
Daily confidence
A complete smile may help you feel more comfortable when eating, speaking, and smiling.
Some bridges are supported by dental crowns placed over neighbouring teeth. Our team can explain when crowns may be included in your bridge treatment.
What Happens During Dental Bridge Treatment?
Your visit begins with a careful examination. We assess the area of the missing tooth, the surrounding teeth, your gums, and your bite. Digital X-rays may be taken when needed to evaluate the supporting teeth and bone.
During a typical appointment for dental bridges in Riverdale, our team may:
Assess your oral health
We examine your teeth, gums, bite, and the space left by the missing tooth.
Review your options
We explain whether a bridge, implant, or denture may be appropriate for your needs.
Prepare the supporting teeth
For a traditional bridge, the neighbouring teeth are shaped to support dental crowns.
Take impressions or scans
We record the shape of your teeth to help create the custom bridge.
Place a temporary bridge
A temporary restoration may protect the prepared teeth while the final bridge is being made.
Fit the final bridge
We check the fit, bite, comfort, and appearance before securing it.
Explain home care
We show you how to brush and clean underneath and around the bridge.
The treatment process can vary depending on the type of bridge and your oral health. We will explain your treatment plan before proceeding.

FAQs
How long do dental bridges last?
Dental bridges can last for many years with good oral hygiene and routine dental care. Their lifespan depends on factors such as the bridge material, bite pressure, oral hygiene, and the health of the supporting teeth and gums.
Do dental bridges hurt?
Local anesthetic is generally used when the supporting teeth need to be prepared. You may experience mild tenderness or sensitivity after treatment, but this often improves as your mouth adjusts.
How do I clean a dental bridge?
Brush your teeth twice a day and clean underneath the bridge using floss threaders, interdental brushes, or other tools recommended by your dental team. We will show you how to clean the area properly.
Can a bridge replace more than one tooth?
Yes. Some dental bridges can replace more than one missing tooth. The right option depends on the location of the gap, your bite, and the support available from nearby teeth or implants.
