Dental Bridges in Alliston, ON
Missing a tooth? A dental bridge can help fill the gap, restore your bite, and bring back your smile—all with a natural look and feel. Book a consultation today to see if a bridge is right for you.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed tooth replacement that literally “bridges” the space left by one or more missing teeth. It’s anchored in place by the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap.
The result? A strong, natural-looking smile that helps you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Missing teeth can make it harder to chew and speak properly—and may even cause your other teeth to shift out of place. A bridge helps restore both function and appearance.
Benefits of a dental bridge:
- Restores your smile and confidence
- Improves chewing and speech
- Prevents neighbouring teeth from shifting
- Maintains facial structure and jaw alignment
- Fixed in place—no removal needed
Why Choose a Dental Bridge?
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
- Traditional bridges – anchored by natural teeth with crowns on each end
- Implant-supported bridges – attached to dental implants for added stability
- Cantilever bridges – used when only one tooth is available for support
- Maryland bridges – a more conservative option using bonded wings instead of crowns
We’ll recommend the best type for your needs, based on your oral health and lifestyle.
Caring for Your Dental Bridge
With good care, a dental bridge can last 10 years or more. Here's how to keep it strong:
- Brush and floss daily, especially around the bridge
- Use a floss threader or water flosser to clean underneath
- Visit us regularly for checkups and professional cleanings
Avoid chewing hard foods or using your teeth as tools
What to Expect During Your Bridge Treatment
Getting a dental bridge typically takes two appointments. Here’s what you can expect:
Consultation and Prep
We begin with a thorough exam and digital X-rays to evaluate your teeth and discuss your goals. If a bridge is the right solution, we’ll prepare the teeth on either side of the gap to support the bridge.
Digital Impressions
Using our iTero scanner, we take quick and comfortable digital impressions—no sticky trays required. These precise scans are sent to a dental lab to create your custom bridge.
Temporary Bridge
While your permanent bridge is being made, we’ll place a temporary one to protect your smile and keep you comfortable.
Final Placement
Once your bridge is ready, we’ll remove the temporary one and bond the permanent bridge in place. We’ll make sure it fits perfectly and feels natural.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is getting a bridge painful?
No. The procedure is gentle and we use local anesthetic to keep you comfortable throughout.
Will my bridge look natural?
Yes! We colour-match your bridge to blend in seamlessly with your natural teeth.
How long does a dental bridge last?
With proper care, most bridges last between 5 to 15 years.
How much does a dental bridge cost?
Costs vary depending on the type of bridge and how many teeth are being replaced. We’ll provide a clear estimate and review your insurance coverage.
Is a bridge better than a denture?
Bridges are fixed in place and often feel more stable than removable dentures. We’ll help you compare your options.
