Dental Bridges: Restore Your Smile at Delta Park Dental

Are you struggling with missing teeth? A dental bridge might be the perfect solution to restore your confident smile, improve your speaking ability, and enhance your oral health. At Delta Park Dental, we provide exceptional dental bridge services tailored to meet your unique needs.

Dental bridges are custom-made dental restorations designed to replace missing teeth or teeth by spanning the area where the tooth replacement teeth are absent. These dental prosthetics are supported by natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap, effectively “bridging” the space created by tooth loss.

Why Consider a Dental Bridge?

When you lose one or more teeth, it affects more than just your appearance. Missing teeth can lead to:

  • Shifting of remaining teeth into the space
  • Increased risk of gum disease and tooth decay
  • Difficulty chewing certain foods
  • Changes in speech patterns
  • Bone loss in the jaw
  • Jaw pain and bite problems
  • Premature ageing due to facial structure changes

A dental bridge helps address these issues by filling in the gap or false tooth with an artificial tooth (or teeth) that looks and functions like your natural teeth.

Types of Dental Bridges Available at Delta Park Dental

At our dental clinic, we offer several types of dental bridges to suit different needs:

Traditional Dental Bridge

Traditional Dental Bridge

Traditional bridges are the most common type of dental bridge. They consist of one or more artificial abutment teeth (pontics) supported by dental crowns placed over the abutment teeth (the existing teeth on either side of the gap). These traditional bridges provide excellent stability and can last many years with proper care.

Cantilever Dental Bridge

Cantilever Dental Bridge

A cantilever bridge is used when adjacent teeth are available on only one gap side. In this cantilever bridge design, the artificial tooth extends from a crown placed on a single abutment tooth. While less common than traditional bridges, a cantilever bridge can be an excellent option in specific situations, particularly for replacing missing front teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Implant-Supported Bridges

For the most stable and long-lasting solution, we offer implant-supported bridges. These bridges are anchored by dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone rather than natural teeth. Depending on the side of the gap and number of missing teeth, two implant-supported crowns might be placed to support a multi-tooth bridge. This option prevents bone loss and provides a permanent solution that closely mimics natural teeth.

Maryland Bridge (Resin-Bonded Bridge)

The Maryland dental bridge is a conservative alternative requiring minimal neighbouring teeth preparation. Instead of dental crowns, this type features metal wings or frameworks bonded to the backs of the adjacent natural teeth. This makes it ideal for replacing missing front teeth when the adjacent natural teeth are healthy and don’t require crowns.

The Dental Bridge Procedure at Delta Park Dental

Initial Consultation and Assessment

Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination. Our experienced dentist evaluates your oral health and the condition of your adjacent teeth and discusses your goals. We'll then take detailed impressions and images to plan your treatment.

Preparation of Abutment Teeth

If you're receiving a traditional bridge, we'll carefully prepare the supporting teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the dental crowns. For a Maryland bridge, minimal preparation is needed, focusing on creating a sufficient bonding surface.

Temporary Bridge Placement

While your final bridge is being crafted in our partner dental laboratory, we'll place a temporary bridge between neighboring teeth to protect your exposed teeth and gums. This will help you maintain your appearance and function during the waiting period.

Final Bridge Placement

Once your permanent bridge arrives from the dental laboratory, we'll remove the temporary bridge and carefully check the fit and appearance of your new permanent dental bridge front teeth first. After any necessary adjustments, the bridge is securely cemented or bonded into place.

Follow-up Care

We'll schedule a follow-up appointment to ensure your dental bridge is functioning properly and that you're comfortable with your new restoration. Our team will also provide detailed instructions on proper oral hygiene practices for caring for your new bridge.

Caring for YourDental Bridge

Your dental bridge can last 10-15 years or even longer with proper care. To maintain your dental bridge:

  • Practice excellent dental hygiene, including brushing twice daily and flossing around and under the bridge

  • Use special floss threaders or interdental brushes to clean under the bridge at the gum line

  • Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings and check-ups

  • Avoid chewing on hard foods or objects that could damage your bridge

  • Address any issues like teeth grinding that could put extra stress on your bridge

Our team will provide detailed instructions on maintaining your specific type of bridge for maximum longevity.
