We build (dental) bridges to beautify your smile

If you have any missing teeth, your dentist in Brampton may close or bridge the gaps with dental bridges. This kind of bridge is an artificial tooth known as a pontic that is held in place by the abutment or anchoring teeth on either side of the missing tooth. Although fake teeth may be made from expensive materials like gold or silver, they are usually made from porcelain to blend well with the original teeth. Here are the top benefits of having dental bridges offered by our leading dentistry clinic in Brampton. Let’s get started. Dental bridges help restore your beautiful smile and prevent you from feeling self-conscious about your smile. They not only improve your look but also the way you bite, speak and chew. If maintained properly and if there is no unexpected damage, a dental bridge can last for several years. The teeth may be matched to the colour of your natural teeth. With this dental bridge, your original teeth are safeguarded from regular wear & tear and sudden moving and tilting. This tilting may cause teeth to bite incorrectly and ultimately lead to further decay or damage.

What Are the Different Types of Dental Bridges in Brampton?

Traditional Dental Bridges

These are one of the most popular types of dental bridges. They have one or more artificial teeth (pontics) or fake teeth and are strongly held in place by crowns. These crowns are bonded to the existing teeth close to the missing one(s). These dental bridges are strong enough to replace molars.

Traditional Dental Bridges

Cantilever Bridges

Like a traditional bridge, the pontic or fake tooth in this dental bridge can be kept in place using a crown bonded to a single abutment tooth. For this bridge, you only require one original tooth to be present next to the gap of the missing tooth.

Cantilever Bridges

Maryland Bridges

This is similar to a traditional dental bridge, but Maryland dental bridges use two original abutment teeth. While the traditional one uses crowns on abutment teeth, the Maryland dental bridge makes use of a framework of porcelain or metal that is then cemented on the back of your abutment teeth. This bridge is used if you have one original tooth on either side of the missing teeth gap.

Implant-Supported Bridges

As the term suggests, these bridges use implants instead of dental crowns and frameworks. Generally, one dental implant is placed surgically for each missing tooth with these dental implants holding a bridge in the right position. If one dental implant for each missing tooth is not possible, the bridge can have a pontic suspended in two implant-supported dental crowns.

Dental Bridges Procedure:

Here are the steps followed by our dental clinic in Brampton to install a traditional dental bridge:

First, the dentist uses local anaesthesia in your gum near the area of your new bridge.

They prepare your supporting teeth through shaping. This is done to make space for a dental crown to be kept over them.

Then the dentist will use a soft mouldable material to get an impression of the teeth and make a bridge. Meanwhile, a temporary bridge or crown made of plastic is fitted.

During the final visit, the dentist removes the temporary bridge or crown and fits the new permanent bridge. Take note that it may take some time for your new dental bridge to adjust to your new modified bite. That is why a little bit of discomfort such as inflammation is common after this procedure. Visit your dentist if discomfort continues or gets to a concerning stage.

How to Maintain Dental Bridges in Brampton

After a dental bridge procedure in Brampton, it is important to care for your new bridge and help the teeth that this bridge attached to remain strong and healthy. Any kind of damage or decay to these teeth may result in complications to the bridge. Below are vital tips to follow to care for your bridge: Brush twice a day and floss daily. Your dentist in Brampton can give you tips on flossing if need be. You may use a special kind of floss known as a threader that allows you to slide the floss between the dental bridge and your gum. Get regular cleaning done at your dental office in Brampton. They may use a Proxabrush especially for cleaning under the bridge. Always eat a healthy and balanced diet. Make sure you include a lot of vegetables, fibre and fruits. Also, avoid chewing hard foods such as meats or raw carrots.

The whole dental bridge procedure went well. The professionals of this clinic discussed the different dental bridge options and their costs. In the end, the bridge was fitted perfectly and even matched my remaining teeth. I was satisfied with the service and would recommend them to others.

Recently I had a bad car accident and lost three of my front teeth. I was searching for a good clinic to get a dental bridge treatment in the Brampton area and came to know about Dentistry on Dusk. I was also looking for teeth whitening for my 10-year old. I got both procedures done at the same place and their prices were reasonable.

I’ve had a fear of visiting the dentist since childhood so I kept putting off my dental bridge procedure to replace my missing teeth. With a lot of apprehension, I visited the Dentistry on Dusk clinic. The dentist was extremely cordial and assured me of a non-invasive, safe and comfortable procedure. The result was excellent.
