Reliable care for missing teeth
At Jane Clair, dental bridges near you are often recommended for patients missing one to three teeth in a row. This treatment may be supported by natural teeth, implants, or both, depending on the location of the gap and the health of the surrounding teeth and gums.
Treatment usually begins with an exam, planning, and preparation of the supporting teeth when needed. In many cases, impressions or digital records are taken so your custom bridge can be designed to fit comfortably and blend naturally with your smile.
What your dental bridge treatment may include
Our North York dental clinic on Jane St focuses on bridges that restore both appearance and function.
- Smile and bite evaluation
- Custom bridge design and placement
Types of Dental Bridges
Different types of dental bridge treatment in North York may be recommended depending on how many teeth are missing and what kind of support is available.
- Traditional dental bridge: Commonly used when healthy teeth are present on both sides of the gap.
- Cantilever bridge: May be used when support is available on only one side.
- Maryland bridge: Often considered for certain front-tooth cases with more conservative support.
- Implant-supported bridge: A strong option when multiple teeth are missing and implant support is preferred.
Your dentist will recommend the best bridge type based on the gap, bite forces, condition of nearby teeth, and your long-term goals.
Caring for Your Dental Bridge
A dental bridge should be cared for every day, just like natural teeth. Good hygiene helps protect the supporting teeth and the gums around the bridge.
Brush twice daily, clean around and under the bridge carefully, and keep up with routine checkups and hygiene visits. Avoid chewing ice, biting very hard objects, or ignoring soreness around the bridge area.
- Clean under the bridge daily
- Visit regularly for exams and cleaning
