If you are looking for a solution for one or more missing teeth, a dental bridge might be right for you. Shawnessy Smiles is pleased to offer SW Calgary Dental Bridges as a functional and aesthetically pleasing option for replacing missing teeth to give you the smile you have always wanted.
A SW Calgary dental bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, is similar to a dental crown and is used as a restorative dental treatment to replace one or more missing teeth in the same area. Using the abutment teeth to anchor the bridge, a dental bridge fills in or “bridges” the gap that is left behind from missing teeth by placing a false tooth or teeth in the area where the gap is. A Dental Bridge not only restores the function of your teeth but also prevents the surrounding teeth from drifting out of position and into the space created by the missing teeth. There are many types of dental bridges available, and the best option for you depends on your specific situation. The Shawnessy Smiles Dental team will thoroughly examine your teeth to identify the best type of dental bridge for your situation.
A Dental Bridge is attached to the teeth on either side of the missing tooth (or teeth) called an abutment. These abutment teeth are filed and shaped in the same manner as a dental crown, to accommodate the dental bridge. The pontic (or replacement crown for the missing tooth) is fused in between the abutments. At Shawnessy Smiles Dental, we primarily use full porcelain dental bridges. However, there are cases where a dental bridge can be made from gold, metal alloys, or a combination of these materials.
Once the preparation of your teeth is complete, we obtain an impression of the affected area which is then sent to our off-site dental lab for processing. To protect your teeth in the time between appointments, we make a custom temporary bridge for you to wear.
The best candidate for a dental bridge is someone with one or more missing teeth and healthy gum and bone tissues in the area where the dental bridge will be placed. A dental bridge does require special attention to hygiene at home, including regular flossing underneath the bridge to remove food and plaque. We will monitor how your South Calgary dental bridge is functioning during your regular dental visits and hygiene appointments.
We know that your smile is important to you and replacing missing teeth with one of our Calgary Dental bridges is one of the many dental health services that Shawnessy Smiles Dental is pleased to offer.
