At Northland Smiles we specialize in providing dental bridges to help patients replace missing teeth and restore their smiles. A dental bridge is an effective and permanent solution for filling the gap left by one or more missing teeth, offering a natural look and feel.
Whether you’re dealing with a lost tooth due to tooth decay, injury, or gum disease, a dental bridge Calgary can restore your oral health and improve your overall appearance.
A dental bridge is a dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by filling the gap with one or more artificial teeth. The bridge is anchored to the adjacent teeth, known as the abutment teeth, which support the false tooth (or teeth) in between. These abutment teeth are usually covered with crowns to provide a sturdy foundation for the dental bridge.
At Northland Smiles, we offer several types of dental bridges to meet your specific needs, whether you’re missing one tooth or several. Our dental bridges are crafted to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, giving you a restored, more confident smile.
If you’re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, a dental bridge offers several key benefits:
A dental bridge helps restore your ability to chew and speak properly, bringing full functionality back.
Filling the gap with a dental bridge supports your facial structure, preventing the sunken appearance that can result from tooth loss.
When a missing tooth is not replaced, your remaining teeth can shift into the gap, leading to misalignment and potential dental health issues.
Unlike dentures, dental bridges are fixed in place, offering a more permanent and natural-feeling solution for tooth replacement.
At Northland Smiles, we offer different types of dental bridges to accommodate various dental needs:
A traditional dental bridge is the most common type of dental bridge. It involves placing crowns on the adjacent teeth to support an artificial tooth in the middle. This type of bridge is ideal for patients with healthy abutment teeth on either side of the gap.
In cases where several teeth are missing or the adjacent teeth are not strong enough to support a bridge, an implant-supported bridge may be recommended. Dental implants are placed in the jawbone to anchor the bridge securely. This option helps prevent bone loss and provides a durable, long-term solution.
A cantilever bridge is used when there is only one adjacent tooth available to support the bridge. While this option is less common, it can be useful in certain situations, such as replacing a missing tooth at the back of the mouth.
At Northland Smiles we follow a precise process to ensure your dental bridge Calgary fits comfortably and functions well. Here’s what to expect during your dental bridge procedure:
Proper care is essential to ensure the longevity and appearance of your dental bridge. Here are a few tips to keep your dental bridge and surrounding teeth in top condition:
Regular brushing and flossing: Maintain good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing around the bridge and abutment teeth to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.
Routine dental checkups: Visit Northland Smiles for regular checkups to monitor your dental bridge and overall oral health.
Avoid hard foods: Be mindful of hard or sticky foods that could damage your dental bridge or loosen the crowns on your abutment teeth.
With proper care, your dental bridge Calgary can last for many years, providing a durable solution to your tooth loss and helping you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.
When deciding between a dental bridge and a dental implant, several factors should be considered, including your overall dental health, the condition of your remaining teeth, and your personal preferences.
Dental bridges are often a quicker solution for tooth replacement and are ideal for patients who have healthy adjacent teeth to support the bridge.
Dental implants are a more permanent solution that involves placing artificial tooth roots into the jawbone to support the replacement tooth. This option helps prevent bone loss and is ideal for patients with good overall oral health.
At Northland Smiles, we will work with you to determine the best tooth replacement option based on your individual needs.
