Dental Bridges in Moose Jaw
Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the adjacent natural teeth. This treatment helps restore your bite, improve speech, and enhance the overall appearance of your smile.
How Dental Bridges Work
Just as you might imagine, a dental bridge replaces missing teeth by using a false tooth supported by adjacent natural teeth, called abutments—serving as a bridge over the gap. Typically made of porcelain, bridges blend seamlessly with surrounding teeth and offer a durable, cost-effective solution for tooth replacement, often covered by insurance.
Types of Dental Bridges
There are several types of dental bridges, each suited to specific needs
Traditional Bridges
The most common, supported by crowns placed on natural teeth on either side of the gap.
Maryland Bridges
These use a metal or porcelain frame attached to the back of adjacent teeth for support.
Cantilever Bridges
Used when only one natural tooth is available to support the bridge, with the bridge anchored on one side
Implant-Supported Bridges
- Supported by dental implants placed in the jaw, offering a stable and permanent solution.
