What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a permanent dental solution that fills in the space left by missing teeth. It is made up of artificial teeth, called pontics, that are attached to neighboring natural teeth or implants. Dental bridges help restore proper chewing function, preserve facial structure, prevent teeth from shifting, and improve the appearance of your smile.
Types of Dental Bridges
There are various types of dental bridges available, each designed to meet specific dental requirements.
- Traditional Fixed Bridge: Pontics are attached to crowns on neighboring natural teeth for support.
- Cantilever Bridge: Utilized when there is only one adjacent tooth for support.
- Maryland Bridge: Pontics are secured by a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the backs of neighboring teeth.
How Are Dental Bridges Placed?
When placing a dental bridge, several steps are taken to ensure a precise fit and long-lasting results. Here is an outline of the process:
- Initial Consultation: Our dentist will check your oral health, discuss your options, and determine the best type of bridge for you.
- Preparation: At your first visit, the teeth next to the gap will be reshaped to make room for crowns.
- Impressions: We'll take detailed impressions of your teeth to create a custom bridge that looks natural.
- Temporary Bridge: While your permanent bridge is being made, we'll place a temporary one to protect your teeth.
- Final Placement: When your new bridge is ready, we'll remove the temporary one and ensure the new bridge fits well before cementing it in place.
At Fresh Dental Edmonton located in Edmonton, AB, we guarantee that every aspect of the bridge placement procedure is meticulously executed, bringing back your smile with precision and attention to detail.

These custom-made prosthetics are anchored to neighboring teeth or implants, seamlessly filling the gap. Whether your missing teeth are due to injury, decay, or other reasons, bridges offer a durable and natural-looking option to boost oral health and confidence.

- Improved Chewing Function: By replacing missing teeth, bridges restore the ability to chew and speak properly.
- Preserved Facial Structure: They help maintain the shape of your face by preventing surrounding teeth from shifting into the empty space.
