Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile; they can impact your ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper oral health. At Westmount Dental Clinic in Saskatoon, we offer dental bridges as a reliable and effective solution to replace missing teeth and restore your smile’s functionality and aesthetics. Our team is committed to providing personalized and high-quality care to help you achieve optimal oral health.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to adjacent natural teeth (abutments) or dental implants. Bridges are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, providing a seamless and stable solution for tooth replacement.

Benefits of Dental Bridges

1. Restored Function: Dental bridges restore your ability to chew and speak properly, enhancing your overall quality of life.

2. Improved Appearance: By filling the gaps left by missing teeth, bridges enhance the appearance of your smile and prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth.

3. Maintained Oral Health: Bridges help maintain the alignment of your remaining teeth, preventing bite issues and reducing the risk of gum disease and tooth decay.

4. Durable and Long-Lasting: Made from strong materials such as porcelain or ceramic, dental bridges are durable and designed to last for many years with proper care.

The Dental Bridge Procedure at Westmount Dental Clinic

1. Consultation and Examination: Your journey to a restored smile begins with a thorough consultation and examination. Our dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if a dental bridge is the best option for you.

2. Tooth Preparation: If the adjacent natural teeth (abutments) are used to support the bridge, they will be prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crowns that will anchor the bridge.

3. Impressions: Precise impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom bridge that fits perfectly with your bite and matches the color of your natural teeth.

4. Temporary Bridge: While your permanent bridge is being fabricated, a temporary bridge is placed to protect your prepared teeth and maintain aesthetics.

5. Permanent Bridge Placement: Once your custom bridge is ready, it is carefully placed and adjusted for a perfect fit. Our dentist will ensure the bridge is securely anchored and that your bite is comfortable and functional.
