How Do I Know If a Dental Bridge Is Right for Me?

Dental bridges effectively replace missing teeth, but a professional evaluation determines suitability. You may be a good candidate if:

During your consultation, we’ll discuss all your tooth replacement options, including bridges, implants, and partial dentures, to determine the best solution for your specific situation.

Types of Dental Bridges: Finding Your Perfect Fit

Not all dental bridges are created equal. We offer several types to meet your specific needs:

Eleanor hesitated to get a bridge for two missing molars, fearing discomfort or artificial appearance. After choosing a traditional bridge, she now enjoys natural feel and restored ability to eat comfortably.

What Actually Happens During the Bridge Process?

Let’s walk through what you can expect when you choose a dental bridge at our Abbotsford dental clinic:

We begin with a comprehensive examination and discussion of your goals to determine the most appropriate type of bridge for your situation.

For traditional bridges, we prepare the adjacent teeth (abutments) by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the crowns that will support your bridge.

We take precise digital impressions of your prepared teeth and the gap to create a bridge that fits perfectly and blends seamlessly with your natural teeth.

While your permanent bridge is being crafted in a dental laboratory, we place a temporary bridge to protect your prepared teeth and maintain your appearance.

When your custom bridge is ready (typically in 2-3 weeks), we remove the temporary bridge and carefully check the fit, appearance, and bite of your permanent bridge.

The entire process typically requires two appointments over 2-3 weeks. As local resident Marcus shares, “I was amazed at how straightforward the process was. Dr. Ash explained each step clearly, the temporary bridge was comfortable, and my permanent bridge fits so perfectly I sometimes forget it’s not my natural teeth. I can smile and eat with complete confidence again.”

Materials for Beautiful, Durable Bridges

At our Abbotsford dental practice, we offer several high-quality materials for dental bridges to meet your aesthetic and functional needs:

Dr. Ash will discuss the advantages of each material and help you choose the option that best suits your specific needs, considering factors like the location of the bridge, your bite forces, aesthetic goals, and budget.

Why Choose a Bridge for Tooth Replacement?

While dental implants are often considered the gold standard for tooth replacement, bridges offer several compelling advantages in many situations:

After Your Bridge Placement: What to Expect

Most people adapt quickly to their new dental bridge. Here’s what our Abbotsford patients typically experience:

The first few days: You may feel temporary sensitivity in abutment teeth, usually resolving within a week, and your bridge may feel slightly different as your mouth adjusts.
The first week: As you adjust to your bridge, any awareness of it being “foreign” diminishes. Your speech returns to normal if you experienced any temporary changes.
Long-term care: With proper care—flossing under the bridge, good hygiene, avoiding force, and regular check-ups—your bridge can last 10–15 years or more.

Alicia, a teacher, received a three-unit bridge for a missing front tooth. Dr. Ash created a perfectly matching bridge, restoring her confidence. Now she smiles freely, and her students notice her newfound happiness.

Common Questions About Dental Bridges Near You

How long do dental bridges last?

With proper care and maintenance, dental bridges typically last 10-15 years, though many last much longer. Factors affecting longevity include oral hygiene practices, biting forces, and regular dental check-ups.

Will my bridge look natural?

Absolutely! Modern dental materials and techniques allow us to create bridges that match your natural teeth in color, shape, and translucency. Most people can’t tell which teeth are part of a bridge, even up close.

Does getting a bridge hurt?

The procedure is performed under local anesthetic, ensuring you’re comfortable throughout. After the anesthetic wears off, you might experience mild sensitivity in the abutment teeth, which typically resolves within a few days.

How do I clean under my bridge?

Special oral hygiene tools like floss threaders, interdental brushes, or water flossers help clean under the bridge where regular floss can’t reach. We’ll demonstrate proper cleaning techniques and recommend the best tools for your specific bridge.
