High River Dental Bridges

If you are feeling self-conscious because of missing teeth, or becoming frustrated because of trouble chewing, speaking and even biting, a dental bridge might be right for you. A well-fitted dental bridge can be an effective and aesthetically pleasing solution for one or more missing teeth. Highwood Dental is pleased to provide this restorative treatment option that improves the appearance of your smile and offers strength and support to your natural teeth.

A dental bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, is an effective dental restoration option used to replace one or more missing teeth in the same area. You can think of dental bridges as small prosthetic devices that bridge the gap left by missing teeth. Consisting of one or more false teeth (pontics), dental bridges are held in place by securely attaching to neighboring natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap (called abutments). This ensures stability and provides natural functionality to the patient. Dental bridges are colour-matched and shaped to match your natural teeth so they blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth and smile.

Adjacent teeth will first need to be crowned so that they can securely hold and support the bridge. Next, an artificial tooth is custom-made to match your existing teeth in shape, size and colour. The artificial tooth is then fitted into the gap with the dental bridge that holds it in place with the help of adjacent teeth or implants. Once fitted, dental bridges fill in the gap and stabilize the bite and overall alignment of teeth. The result is a durable, strong and aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth that allows you to regain your confidence and improve your dental function. The Highwood Dental team is dedicated to delivering natural-looking dental bridges to help you achieve optimal oral health and aesthetic satisfaction. Let us bring your smile back to its original state with a dental bridge!
