During a consultation, we will determine if you need a traditional dental bridge or a cantilever bridge.

Several factors are taken into consideration:

• Size of gap

• Condition of surrounding teeth

• Personal preference

• Overall health of teeth and gums

We will administer a local anesthetic to numb the area, take a digital scan of your mouth, reshape the surrounding teeth, place a temporary dental bridge (dummy tooth).

A digital scan is send to a lab, who will create the permanent dental bridge by using CAD/CAM (computer aided design and manufacturing) technology.

After two weeks, the permanent dental bridge is placed by one our experienced dentists.

Dental bridges require the same care as natural teeth; however, it does require additional flossing with a special floss, called Super Floss, to clean underneath the dummy tooth.

It is recommended to avoid extremely hard food and chewing on very hard and dense substances.
