Missing one or more teeth can affect your confidence, your bite, and even your overall health. Fortunately, dental bridges in Toronto offer a proven solution to restore your smile and chewing ability. At Dental Arts Toronto, we provide traditional, implant-supported, and resin-bonded bridges for patients across Forest Hill, Bedford Park, and North Toronto.
This guide explains what dental bridges are, who they’re best suited for, and how they compare to other restoration options.
Toronto Dental Bridge Essentials
- Dental bridges fill gaps left by missing teeth using nearby teeth or implants for support.
- Options include traditional fixed, implant-supported, and Maryland bridges.
- The process usually takes about one week from scan to placement.
- With proper care, dental bridges can last 15+ years.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that fills in the space left by one or more missing teeth. It’s supported by either:
- Natural teeth (called abutment teeth)
- Or implants for added stability
A false tooth (pontic) is suspended in the gap to restore aesthetics and function.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer in Toronto
At Dental Arts, we customize every case based on your smile, bite, and health goals:
Traditional Fixed Bridges
- Uses crowns on both sides of the gap
- Ideal for 1–2 missing teeth with healthy neighbors
Implant-Supported Bridges
- Supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth
- Longer-lasting and better for bone health
Maryland (Resin-Bonded) Bridges
- Uses a metal or ceramic framework bonded to the back of neighboring teeth
- Conservative and ideal for small, front-tooth gaps
Who Should Consider a Dental Bridge?
You may be a great candidate if you:
- Are missing one or more teeth in the same area
- Have healthy teeth on either side of the gap
- Don’t want or qualify for a dental implant
Patients in Downtown Toronto, Lawrence Park, and South Etobicoke often choose bridges as a fast and permanent solution.
Why Replace Missing Teeth?
Missing teeth can lead to:
- Shifting of surrounding teeth
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Loss of facial volume and structure
- Jawbone deterioration (without implants)
Bridges prevent these issues and restore confidence in your appearance.
What to Expect During the Bridge Process
- Consultation and digital scan
- Bite and shade selection
- Temporary bridge if needed
- Lab fabrication (~5–7 days)
- Final placement and bite adjustment
Thanks to our digital scanning and lab workflow, most cases are completed in about one week.
