Are you missing one or more teeth and looking for a reliable solution to restore your smile? Dental bridges might be the perfect option for you! At Smile By Bis, a trusted dental clinic in Oakville, we specialize in providing high-quality dental bridges to help you regain your confidence and improve your oral health.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by dental crowns on either side, which are placed over the adjacent healthy teeth or dental implants. Bridges not only restore the appearance of your smile but also improve functionality, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Types of Dental Bridges
At Smile By Bis, we offer several types of dental bridges to suit your unique needs:
-
Traditional Bridges: The most common type, using crowns on adjacent teeth to hold the bridge in place.
-
Cantilever Bridges: Used when there’s only one natural tooth next to the gap.
-
Maryland Bridges: A conservative option that uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
-
Implant-Supported Bridges: Ideal for multiple missing teeth, supported by dental implants for added stability.
