REPLACING MISSING TEETH WITH DENTAL BRIDGES

Missing teeth or gaps between teeth not only affect your appearance but can also lead to dental complications such as difficulty in talking, biting, or chewing. This can cause adjacent teeth to shift, affecting your bite and potentially leading to gum disease or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Dental bridges provide an effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth by bridging the gap between them. Available as semi-permanent removable partial dentures or permanent fixed partial dentures, these bridges are anchored to adjacent teeth (abutments) that are prepared by filing them down and placing dental crowns. An artificial tooth (pontic) is then attached to the crowns, completing the bridge and restoring functionality.

At Okotoks Family Dental, our custom-made dental bridges ensure a precise fit and natural appearance, promoting dental health and restoring your smile. The process involves multiple appointments for preparation, fitting, and adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and functionality.
