DENTAL BRIDGE

A perfect and stunning smile radiates health, joy, and confidence. On the other hand, the visibility of missing, crooked, gapped, or stained teeth takes away your shine when you smile. That’s why you need different dental care services to restore your smile.

A dental bridge is the ultimate solution for lost or gapped teeth. It acts as a support and placeholder and prevents the teeth from shifting into the open spaces created by gapped or missing teeth. Most often, a person loses teeth due to injury, gum disease, or aging. For dental bridge placement, you need healthy teeth on either side of the missing ones to provide anchorage and support.

Dental bridges preserve your teeth, restore your smile, and are among the quickest services in all dental care procedures. Dental bridges offer several advantages, including:

• Dental bridges prevent a sunken-in appearance by maintaining the shape of your face.
• Dental bridges prevent other teeth from shifting.
• By having dental bridges, you can minimize the risk of bone loss.
• Dental bridges are not movable, as they are permanently fixed.

Ingersoll strives to provide its clients with top-quality dental care services at budget-friendly dental bridge costs.

The placement of dental bridges is generally completed in the following steps:

1. The dentist prepares the teeth on each side of the missing one by filling and shaping them. These teeth are called abutments.
2. A dental laboratory works with your orthodontist to custom-handcraft your bridge by mimicking the exact color, shape, and size of your natural teeth. This process generally takes 1 to 2 weeks, and a temporary bridge is placed during this period to protect your teeth and gums. This temporary bridge is not durable enough to last long term.
3. When your permanent bridge is ready, the dentist removes the temporary bridge, cleans away the temporary cement, and checks the fit of the new bridge. If everything is suitable, the bridge is permanently cemented. A bridge is not removable once placed.

It is essential to take good care of your bridge with regular flossing, brushing, follow-up appointments, and daily cleanings.

There are four different types of dental bridge services that people often choose. We provide these services to our clients at economical dental bridge costs in London, Ontario:

• Cantilever bridges
• Traditional dental bridges
• Implant-supported bridges
• Maryland bridges

Each of the above types is significant and is recommended based on your oral condition and needs.

There is a significant difference between dental bridges and dental implants. A dental bridge is used to fill the spaces left by gapped or missing teeth, while dental implantation involves replacing missing, crooked, or decayed teeth.

The costs also differ. Generally, dental bridges are more affordable and range between $500 and $1,200.

The average cost of dental implants in Toronto ranges from $3,000 to $50,000, depending on how many teeth need to be replaced.

Both procedures aim to restore your smile and improve your appearance. Ingersoll Dental Care offers both services with effective and long-lasting results at affordable costs.

The dental bridge process typically requires at least two appointments. During the first appointment, the dentist evaluates the condition of your teeth. He files down two healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth. A mold is then prepared, and the surrounding healthy teeth serve as anchors for the dental bridge. Each appointment usually lasts 1 to 2 hours.

At Ingersoll, you can receive excellent dental care services at an affordable cost. Your comfort is our top priority. Our professionally trained dentists understand your needs and work to meet them effectively, with expertise across a wide range of dental services.

We also provide emergency dental bridge treatment for clients in urgent need, aiming to fulfill all requirements promptly and efficiently.

Dental bridges generally last for about 5 to 15 years, depending on the type of care they receive. Their lifespan also depends on their quality and regular professional cleanings.

If you have a few missing teeth or gapped teeth in your mouth, you may be an appropriate candidate for dental bridge services.

Additionally, the person receiving dental bridges must be in good oral health and should have a few healthy teeth on each side of the missing teeth to provide support and anchorage.

Sometimes, a portion of the cost of dental bridge treatment is covered by dental insurance.

Dental bridges usually take 2 to 3 weeks to properly adjust. Initially, patients may feel slight discomfort, but they typically get used to the bridges within a few weeks.

Dental bridges are either permanently fixed to your teeth with dental cement or are removable. Permanent bridges are attached to your abutment teeth and serve as placeholders.
