Bridging the Gap to a Complete Smile
with Dental Bridges in Yonge St, Ontario
What Are Dental Bridges?
A confident smile is a powerful asset that makes a lasting impact. However, missing teeth can cause self-consciousness and difficulty speaking and biting, especially if one or more are present. Dental bridges are an efficient way to restore missing teeth, restoring the smile’s appearance and functionality. Fixed restorations called dental bridges replace one or more lost teeth. They are “bridges” because they fill the space by lost teeth and are in place by the natural teeth or dental implants next to them. Bridges seamlessly match the patient’s natural teeth, creating a harmonious and complete smile.
At Brookdale Dentistry on Yonge Street in Ontario, we are proud to offer high-quality dental bridges that fit the needs of each customer. This helps them regain their beautiful smile and confidence.
Caring for Dental Bridges
To maximize oral health and extend the lifespan of dental bridges, proper upkeep is necessary:
Oral Hygiene
Brush twice daily and floss daily to keep your bridge and surrounding teeth clean. You can clean under the bridge with special floss threaders or interdental tools.
Dietary Choices
Steer clear of very sticky or firm meals since they may harm the bridge. A healthy diet encourages good oral health generally.
Regular Dental Check-ups
To monitor the state of the bridge and your dental health, see your dentist regularly for examinations and expert cleanings.
Avoid Habits That Can Damage the Bridge
To avoid breaking the bridge, refrain from biting on hard objects like pens or ice and abstain from using your teeth as tools.
The Dental Bridge Procedure
The process of getting a dental bridge involves several steps and requires the expertise of our experienced team at Brookdale Dentistry:
Comprehensive Evaluation
Our dentist will evaluate the patient’s oral health, talk with them about their objectives and preferences, and choose the kind of dental bridge that will work best for them at the initial appointment.
Preparation
To make room for the dental crowns, a small amount of enamel is removed from the neighbouring teeth that will act as anchors for traditional and cantilever bridges. An impression of the teeth is then custom-made crowns and bridges.
Temporary Bridge
A temporary bridge protects the prepared teeth and preserves the smile’s appearance, while the permanent bridge is in a dental lab.
Fitting and Adjustment
When the long-term bridge is ready, the patient comes back for a fitting. The dentist checks that the bridge is snugly in place and makes any necessary modifications to ensure that it functions and looks its best.
Bonding the Bridge
Our dentists will fit the bridge accurately before precisely cementing them to the neighbouring teeth with dental cement or, in the case of an implant-supported bridge, to dental implants.
Advantages of Dental Bridges
Dental bridges offer numerous benefits to individuals with missing teeth:
Restored Function
Bridges restore the mouth’s full functionality by allowing patients to chew comfortably and communicate.
Improved Aesthetics
Dental bridges make the smile more attractive by naturally replacing missing teeth.
Preserved Facial Structure
Teeth missing can cause facial drooping and early aging. Bridges support the nearby structures and preserve the face’s form.
Boosted Confidence
Patients regain their confidence and feel more at ease in social and professional settings after receiving a full grin.
Prevent Shifting of Teeth
Bridges preserve good dental alignment by preventing the remaining natural teeth from slipping into the gap.

FAQs
How are dental bridges different from dentures?
Dentures are detachable prostheses, while dental bridges are cemented-in fixed restorations. Dental bridges replace one or more of your missing teeth, whereas complete or partial dentures can replace all of the teeth that are missing from an arch.
How long do dental bridges last?
The lifespan of dental bridges depends on various factors, including oral hygiene practices, regular dental check-ups, and the materials used. Dental bridges can last between 5 to 15 years or more with proper care.
Are dental bridges noticeable?
Modern dental bridges look like natural teeth and are essentially indistinguishable from them. In order to create a smooth and realistic-looking repair, the dentist meticulously matches the colour and contour of the artificial teeth to the surrounding natural teeth.
Are dental bridges painful?
The process of getting a dental bridge is not too painful. The surrounding teeth get ready while under the influence of local anesthetic to make the procedure comfortable. The little discomfort or sensitivity that patients may experience after the bridge is implanted normally goes away within a few days.
Can anyone get a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is not suitable for everyone. To support the bridge, the neighbouring teeth must be sound and sturdy. Alternative tooth replacement methods, such as dental implants, may be better if the neighbouring teeth are unsuitable.
