Dental Bridges
When a tooth goes missing, even one, it changes how your mouth feels. You chew differently. Food catches where it didn’t before. Over time, other teeth start to drift. A dental bridge fills that space, bringing things back into balance.
A bridge uses the teeth beside the gap as anchors. They’re shaped and fitted with crowns that support the replacement tooth (or teeth) in between. Everything connects as one piece, restoring the shape and strength of your smile.
At our New Westminster clinic, we start with careful planning. The dentist examines the area, checks the bite, and explains your options — fixed bridges, implant-supported bridges, or removable ones if needed. Each design has its place, and the best choice depends on your bone, gums, and how many teeth are missing.
The process usually takes two visits. The first involves shaping the anchor teeth and taking a detailed impression. You’ll leave with a temporary bridge that protects the area while the final version is made. On your next visit, the new bridge is placed, adjusted, and bonded securely in place.
Once in, it should feel natural. You’ll be able to talk, chew, and smile normally again. Most patients forget it’s even there after a few days. Cleaning under the bridge and around the anchors is important — we’ll show you how to keep the area healthy and make it last as long as possible.
Dental bridges are about more than replacing a missing tooth. They help keep your bite even, your jaw comfortable, and your confidence steady when you smile.
