Dental Bridges in Near You

At Inglewood Family Dental, we are pleased to offer Calgary residents Dental Bridges as an option to replace missing teeth. Do you have a missing tooth or a broken tooth that needs to be removed? If so, your dentist may recommend a dental bridge to replace that missing tooth. Your teeth are designed to work together and when one is lost, it can affect the placement and stability of the surrounding teeth. Dental bridges will restore the natural look of your teeth, provide stability, and give you confidence to smile again.

What are Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are designed to bridge the gap between teeth created by a lost tooth. A traditional bridge uses two crowns placed on the neighboring teeth and a false tooth placed in the center, attached to the crowns. The two supporting teeth are referred to as abutment teeth and the false tooth is called a pontic. Bridges are typically made from porcelain, gold, metal alloys, or a combination of these materials. Bridges stabilize the teeth in the mount and reduce the chance of teeth shifting after tooth loss.

When are Dental Bridges Used?

Dental bridges are used to replace a missing tooth due to infection, injury, or decay. A lost tooth, while it may not seem like much, can cause more damage to your surrounding teeth and your face in general. Replacing the lost tooth with a bridge can restore your smile, restore the ability to chew and speak correctly, help to restore facial shape, and prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of their natural position.

Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and smile confidently. Dental bridges provide a straightforward solution to restore the function and appearance of your smile.

A dental bridge is an appliance that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It uses your existing teeth as support, holding artificial teeth securely in place. By filling these spaces, dental bridges improve your ability to chew, help you speak clearly, and keep nearby teeth from shifting out of position.

When nearby teeth move due to a gap, they can cause misalignment and discomfort. A dental bridge prevents this, protecting your overall oral health. It also restores balance to your bite, making eating more comfortable and enjoyable.

Who Needs Dental Bridges?

Dental bridges are a great option for many people. Here’s who can benefit from them:

  • Individuals with Missing Teeth: Ideal for replacing one or more missing teeth in a row.
  • Those Wanting a Permanent Solution: A fixed option that doesn’t need to be removed daily, unlike dentures.
  • Patients Focused on Appearance: Bridges restore the look of a complete smile and help maintain your natural facial shape.
  • People Preventing Dental Shifting: Bridges keep neighboring teeth in place, preserving proper alignment and reducing the risk of bite issues.

The Benefits

Is A Bridge Better Than an Implant?

There are practical reasons for both a bridge and an implant. I would not necessarily say one is better than the other. There was a time when getting a bridge was your only option. With a bridge there seems to be a lot more prep work compared to an implant. With an implant the dentist only has to replace one individual tooth which seems to be a more strong and permanent result.

At Inglewood Family Dental, we follow the Alberta Fee Guide so there should not be any out of pocket expense for necessary dental treatments covered by insurance. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call at (403) 265-5888.

The process to get a dental bridge should not be painful if you are numbed properly. With a tradition bridge you have to have drilling done to your teeth this is to make sure they are small enough for the bridge to fit properly. It is common to have a small amount of pain or discomfort afterwards but during the procedure there should not be any pain.
Dental bridges can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years as mentioned above. If you are someone who practices good oral hygiene along with going to your regular checkups, your dental bridges could last for as 15 years and possibly even a lifetime. If you want your dental bridge to last longer, it is recommended that you eat a tooth-friendly diet and also remember to stay away from foods that put stress on dental bridges to prolong their life span.
