Dental Bridges in Leduc, AB

Dental Bridges Near You

Are you missing a tooth and seeking a natural-looking solution? Trinity Family Dental is happy to offer dental bridges in Leduc, AB, which can help restore your smile and enhance your bite. The space left by missing teeth can make chewing and speaking difficult, and it may even change the shape of your face. A dental bridge is a way to fill the gap of a missing tooth and support your overall oral health.

What is a Dental Bridge?

To replace missing teeth, dentists often use a dental bridge—a stable restoration supported by crowns on the teeth beside the gap, with an artificial tooth (pontic) that sits in the empty space. Bridges help restore chewing ability, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and improve your smile’s appearance.

Why You Might Need a Dental Bridge

Missing teeth cause many problems. When you have an empty space in your smile, the nearby teeth will often shift to fill the space. This shift can create bite problems and chewing difficulty. Additionally, an empty space in your smile can change the shape of your face and can sometimes even make you self-conscious about your smile.

A dental bridge solves these issues by:

Filling the gaps in your smile
Helping you chew food better
Keeping your other teeth in the right position
Supporting your facial structure
Making you feel confident when you smile and talk

How We Place Your Dental Bridge

Receiving dental bridges in Leduc, AB, usually only takes two trips to Trinity Family Dental:
First Appointment. Our dentist will prepare the teeth next to your gap by removing a small amount of enamel so the bridge can fit properly. After we prepare the teeth, we’ll take impressions to create a bridge that matches your natural teeth perfectly. While your new bridge is being created in the dental lab, we’ll give you a temporary bridge to wear.

Second Appointment. We’ll remove the temporary bridge and place your new permanent bridge. We make sure it’s comfortable and looks natural before we cement it in place.

Care for Your Dental Bridge

Caring for your dental bridge is easy. Every day, brush and floss carefully around the bridge. Visit Trinity Family Dental every 6 months or sooner for regular check-ups and cleanings. The use of a Water flosser is also recommended for the longevity and durability of your dental bridge.

If you follow these simple guidelines, your dental bridge will last for many years and keep your smile looking amazing!

FAQ

Does getting a dental bridge hurt?

No, the procedure doesn’t hurt. Our dentist near you will use local anesthetics to numb the area. You won’t feel anything while we work. You may experience slight sensitivities afterward, but they’ll go away quickly.

How long do dental bridges last?

If you take care of your bridges and continue to see our dentist regularly, most dental bridges last between 5 to 15 years. Some bridges can even last much longer with excellent oral hygiene.

What is the difference between a dental bridge and a dental implant?

A bridge relies on your natural teeth for support, while an implant is a metal post in your jawbone. Both options are for replacing missing teeth, and our dentist can help you choose the best option for your needs.

Do dental bridges look natural?

Yes, we match the colour as closely as we can to the colour of your natural teeth.
