Traditional Bridge
Crowns on the neighbouring teeth support the replacement tooth between them.
A dental bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth with natural-looking replacement teeth, anchored securely to the teeth beside the space. Our Fleetwood and Newton dentists restore your bite, your smile and your confidence.


Is a bridge right for you?
A missing tooth changes more than your smile. Neighbouring teeth drift into the space, your bite becomes uneven and chewing puts extra strain on the teeth that remain.
A bridge is a fixed, non-removable replacement. It uses the teeth on either side of the gap, or dental implants, as anchors to hold one or more custom replacement teeth firmly in place.
A bridge may be right for you if you have
Types of bridges
We recommend the design that best protects your long-term oral health.
Crowns on the neighbouring teeth support the replacement tooth between them.
Dental implants anchor the bridge, so neighbouring teeth are left untouched.
Custom-shaded ceramic blends in with your natural teeth.
With good care and regular checkups, a bridge can serve you for many years.
The process
Digital planning keeps every step precise and comfortable.
We check the health of the teeth and bone around the gap with digital X-rays and 3D imaging.
The supporting teeth are gently shaped and a digital scan captures your bite, with no messy impressions.
Your bridge is designed to match the shape and shade of your natural teeth.
We fit and adjust the bridge for a comfortable bite and show you how to care for it.

Still have a question? Our team is happy to help.
With good brushing, flossing under the bridge and regular checkups, a bridge can last many years. We check it at every visit.
The teeth are numbed before any preparation, so most patients feel little more than pressure. Mild sensitivity afterwards usually settles within a few days.
An implant replaces the root and does not rely on neighbouring teeth, while a traditional bridge uses them for support. We will explain the pros, cons and costs of each for your situation.
Brush twice a day and use floss threaders, a water flosser or small interdental brushes to clean under the replacement tooth. Our hygienists will show you how.
Many plans cover part of the cost of a bridge. We direct bill most insurance plans, follow the BCDA Fee Guide and welcome Canadian Dental Care Plan patients.
