Fill the Gap and Restore Your Smile
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. By filling the space left behind, a bridge can help restore the appearance of your smile while improving chewing, speaking and overall function. At Oak Dental Place, we take a personalized approach to restorative dentistry and will assess your teeth, bite and oral health before recommending treatment. Our goal is to create a solution that feels comfortable, looks natural and helps support the long-term health of your smile.
A Stable, Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement
Missing teeth can affect more than appearance. Over time, nearby teeth may begin to shift into the open space, which can affect your bite and make some areas more difficult to clean. A dental bridge helps maintain the space by using neighbouring teeth or dental implants for support. The replacement tooth or teeth are carefully designed to blend with your surrounding smile and restore a more complete, balanced appearance.
What to Expect With a Dental Bridge
Your treatment begins with an examination of the area and a discussion of your tooth replacement options. If a traditional bridge is recommended, the neighbouring teeth are carefully prepared to support the restoration.
Impressions or digital scans are then taken so your custom bridge can be created to match your bite and natural teeth. Depending on your treatment, a temporary restoration may be placed while the final bridge is being made.
