1261 Stittsville Main Street, Unit #9A dental bridge, or a partial fixed denture, is used to replace lost or missing teeth. It can be used to replace one tooth or may be used to replace multiple consecutively missing teeth. Replacing missing teeth is important for restoring the aesthetic and oral health to your smile.
A dental bridge can be used to replace teeth that need to be extracted, or teeth that were previously lost.
Villanova Dental Studio offers a range of missing teeth replacement options including dental bridges. Using the latest in dental technology and techniques, today’s fixed dental bridges are natural looking and allow for better function when compared to traditional options.
A dental bridge requires healthy surrounding teeth or the placement of dental implants for support. The bridge holds prosthetic teeth and uses the adjacent teeth as support to hold the bridge in place.
A dental crown may be used to reinforce the structure of the supporting teeth if natural teeth are being used. A dental bridge can also be secured using a dental implant to avoid compromising the integrity of existing teeth.
DENTAL BRIDGES WHAT TO EXPECT
Dr. Barakat and his dental associates offer a range of treatment options for replacing missing teeth. Dental bridges are a more economical treatment option that can improve the aesthetics of a smile.
Treatment for replacing missing teeth will be determined based on a patient’s individual goals, oral health, and budget.
DENTAL BRIDGE VS DENTAL IMPLANTS
For patients considered good candidates, a dental implant is often the recommended option when replacing a single missing tooth or securing a dental bridge. The important oral health benefits that implants offer will support long term dental health as well as provide the most natural function and aesthetics.
METAL-FREE DENTAL BRIDGES
Villanova Dental Studio uses metal-free, porcelain dental restorations. Porcelain dental bridges have a more natural aesthetic and added oral health benefits in comparison to traditional metal supported bridges.
Porcelain dental bridges are:
- Less sensitive to temperature
- Shaped like natural teeth
- Colour matched to your surrounding natural teeth
- Natural function and aesthetic
Your Villanova dentist will explain all aspects of your dental bridge procedure with you to ensure you are comfortable during your treatment. Based on your oral health, your dentist will help you choose if dental crowns or implants will yield the most lasting and natural looking results for securing your bridge.

Dental Bridge FAQs
How long do dental bridges last?
The lifespan of a dental bridge can vary depending on factors such as oral hygiene practices, the material used, and the bridge's location in the mouth. On average, dental bridges can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or more with proper care. Regular dental check-ups and maintenance can help prolong the longevity of dental bridges.
Is getting a dental bridge painful?
Getting a dental bridge is typically not painful, as it is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. However, some patients may experience mild discomfort or sensitivity after the procedure, which usually subsides within a few days. Your dentist will provide instructions for managing any post-procedure discomfort effectively.
Can dental bridges be whitened?
Unlike natural teeth, dental bridges cannot be whitened with traditional teeth whitening methods. However, if your dental bridge becomes discolored or stained over time, your dentist may recommend replacing it or applying a new layer of dental porcelain to restore its appearance. It's essential to discuss your options with your dentist to determine the most suitable solution for your specific needs.
How do I care for my dental bridge?
Proper care and maintenance are crucial for prolonging the lifespan of your dental bridge. This includes practicing good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing regularly and attending regular dental check-ups and cleanings. Additionally, avoiding hard or sticky foods can help prevent damage to the bridge and ensure its longevity.
Can dental bridges be used to replace multiple missing teeth?
Yes, dental bridges can replace one or more missing teeth in a row. Depending on the number of missing teeth and the condition of the adjacent teeth, your dentist may recommend a traditional dental bridge or an implant-supported bridge to restore your smile effectively. It's essential to consult with your dentist to determine the most suitable treatment option for your specific needs.
