Fixed Bridge in North York

Losing a tooth, besides affecting your smile, changes the way you eat, speak, and feel about yourself every day. At Smile Avenue Dentistry, we offer fixed dental bridges as a long-lasting, yet comfortable solution to replace missing teeth and bring your confidence back.
A fixed bridge blends naturally with your surrounding teeth, so the result looks and feels completely real. Our friendly North York dental team will walk you through every step, with one goal in mind: making sure you feel informed and at ease from your first visit to your final fitting.

Fixed Bridge in North York

What Is a Fixed Bridge?

A fixed dental bridge is a permanent tooth replacement restoration that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two dental crowns placed on the natural teeth on either side of the gap, called abutment teeth, with a false tooth called a pontic in between. Once cemented in place, it functions just like your natural teeth.
Unlike removable dentures, a fixed bridge is a stable, non-removable solution that restores your ability to chew and speak normally. It also prevents the surrounding teeth from shifting, helps maintain your jaw structure, and supports your overall oral health as you age.

Reasons You May Need a Fixed Bridge

There are several reasons your dentist at Smile Avenue Dentistry may recommend a fixed dental bridge. You may need a fixed bridge if you have:
Tooth loss due to severe decay or gum disease
A missing tooth caused by injury or trauma
Teeth that have shifted due to a gap in your smile
Changes in your bite or jaw structure from missing teeth
One or more adjacent missing teeth with healthy abutment teeth on either side

Fixed Bridge Placement Process

Getting a fixed dental bridge at Smile Avenue Dentistry is a straightforward process that usually takes two appointments. Our North York dental team will make sure you feel comfortable and informed at every stage.

Initial Consultation and Exam

During your first visit, your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw to make sure a fixed bridge is the right solution for you. We may take dental X-rays to get a full picture of your oral health and check the condition of your abutment teeth.

Tooth Preparation and Impressions

Your abutment teeth, the natural teeth on either side of the gap, will be gently shaped to make room for the dental crowns. We then take precise impressions of your teeth and send them to a dental lab where your custom bridge is carefully crafted. A temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth in the meantime.

Final Fitting and Cementing

Once your permanent fixed bridge is ready, you’ll come in for your second appointment. Your dentist will check the fit, make any small adjustments, and permanently cement the bridge in place. The result is a stable, natural-looking restoration that feels just like your own teeth.
