Fill Gaps Caused by 1 to 3 Missing Teeth

A dental bridge can improve the look and function of your smile by filling empty spaces with a replacement tooth supported by your natural teeth, dental implants, or both. Also known as a fixed partial denture, a bridge is securely bonded or cemented in place, so you can sleep, eat, and care for your smile without removing it. Replacing missing teeth is about more than appearance. Tooth gaps can affect your ability to chew and speak comfortably, while nearby teeth may gradually move into the open space.

Long-Term Benefits Of Dental Bridges

Missing one or more teeth can affect how comfortable and confident you feel about your smile. A dental bridge can help restore the look and function of your teeth while also supporting your overall oral health. By filling the space left by missing teeth, a bridge can help protect your remaining teeth and maintain a healthier bite. Here are some of the key benefits of choosing a dental bridge:

Comfort

One of the most noticeable benefits is feeling comfortable with your smile again. A dental bridge can make it easier to smile, speak, and enjoy your favourite foods with confidence. Gaps caused by missing teeth can sometimes make everyday activities uncomfortable or difficult. With proper care and regular dental visits, a dental bridge can provide a durable solution that may last for many years.

Tooth Health

Your teeth work together to support your bite and maintain the natural structure of your smile. When a tooth is missing, nearby teeth can gradually move into the open space, which may affect your bite and make cleaning more difficult. A dental bridge fills the gap and helps keep surrounding teeth in their proper positions. This can make it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and may help reduce the risk of future dental problems.

Bone Health

Your teeth also play an important role in supporting the jawbone. When teeth are lost, the bone around the missing tooth can gradually become weaker because it is no longer receiving the same stimulation. Replacing a missing tooth with a dental bridge can help restore function and support the surrounding structures of your mouth. Maintaining good oral health and replacing missing teeth can help protect your smile for years to come.

The Cost Of A Dental Bridge In Calgary

The price of a dental bridge can vary depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. With a typical insurance plan, the cost of a dental bridge may average around $800 to $1,200 or more. For patients without insurance coverage, a general estimate may range from $2,000 to $3,000 and up.

What Affects The Cost of a Dental Bridge?

Several factors can influence the total cost of treatment, including:

  • The type of bridge and materials selected.
  • The number of teeth that need to be replaced.
  • The location of the missing tooth and the complexity of treatment.
  • The health and condition of the teeth surrounding the gap.
  • The supplies, equipment, and additional treatments required for your specific needs.

It is important to remember that an accurate dental bridge cost cannot be determined over the phone. Every patient has different oral health needs, so your dentist will need to complete an examination before recommending the most suitable treatment. During your appointment, you can discuss your options and receive a personalized estimate.

If you have dental insurance, our team can also provide a treatment estimate that you can submit to your insurance provider. This can help you understand your expected out-of-pocket costs before moving forward with treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are different types of dental bridges – permanent and semi-permanent. Bridges are sometimes referred to as fixed partial dentures because they are semi-permanent and are bonded to existing teeth or implants. The easiest way to tell the difference between a bridge (which stays put) and a denture (which is removable) is that bridges are just the teeth whereas dentures have those pink gums.
Cantilever bridges are used when there aren’t adjacent teeth on both sides of the missing teeth. They aren’t very common anymore and aren’t recommended in the back of the mouth where it can apply too much force to other teeth and damage them. If your missing teeth are in the back of your mouth, there are other solutions available.
The process usually takes two appointments with each appointment lasting less than an hour.
Bridges can be constructed from gold alloys, non-precious alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. We primarily use porcelain for our dental bridge procedures.
Sometimes, people use the terms dental bridge and crown interchangeably. The reality is they have different functions. Dental crowns are prosthetic caps that are placed over broken, chipped, or worn teeth. They are effective in strengthening the teeth and preventing tooth decay. Dental bridges are designed to bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
A crowns, all by itself, cannot replace a missing tooth. The crown refers to a dental cap that looks and feels like a tooth but it needs to be supported inside and beneath the gum line by either an existing and prepared tooth, a partial tooth with a post or a dental implant.
Bridges can be made of Zirconia. Ask us for more information and we would be happy to show you what materials are available and what our recommendations are for your specific needs.

Simply the Best Dental Experience in Calgary! I highly recommend Shawnee Dental Clinic, Calgary. From the moment you walk into their beautiful, modern facility, you know you’re in good hands. The clinic is stunning and equipped with all the latest modern amenities, making the environment feel more like a spa than a dentist's office. 🍀 I recently moved to Calgary and was exploring good dental clinic as I was suffering from the swelling and pain in my front lower tooth. After some research online, I decided to call Shawnee Dental Clinic, and they immediately provided an appointment for the next morning for my diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Atit Patel did X-ray and diagnosed my issue of pus development in the dead tooth vein, and treated with immediate care to provide a relief on the same day. He also guided on options for further treatments with its pros and cons. I decided to go for Root Canal treatment a few days after the urgent care. They provided a great experience during and after the treatment and I was extremely satisfied with the care they provided to me. 🤗 The entire staff is incredibly lovely and caring. They go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and relaxed. My dentist, Dr. Atit Patel, was truly extraordinary; not only highly skilled and professional but also patient and thorough in explaining every step of the process, so as his dental asistant, Jas and Jiles. It’s rare to find a dentist and his team who combine such high-level expertise with a genuine, gentle touch.🤝🏻 What really sets them apart is their customer-centric aftercare. The front desk team, Shyla and Alice are amazing; they followed up with me after my every appointment to ensure I was recovering well and to answer any lingering questions. That level of proactive care is hard to find! 🫶 Their referral program is also Amazon, that offers new patient either Sonicare Electric Toothbrush or Power Flooser, and as a referee, you get a $50 Amazon Gift Card.❤️ If you are looking for a world-class dental experience in Calgary, look no further than Shawnee Dental. They have earned a patient for life! 😄
