Getting a dental bridge is a very specialized process that usually requires 2 visits to our Kelowna office. The two ‘anchor teeth’ are prepared for a bridge by removing a portion of enamel, enabling the placement of the dental crowns. We then take an impression of neighbouring teeth and send it to a dental laboratory where a new bridge is created. A temporary bridge is installed and worn until your next appointment. During your second appointment, your new, bridge is checked and adjusted before being cemented into place.

True to their name, dental bridges literally bridge gaps created by missing teeth. A “traditional bridge” is the most commonly used among dental practitioners, and is constructed with porcelain fused to metal. In most cases, a bridge will be placed over abutment teeth (anchoring teeth) and attached to an artificial tooth, filling any gap created by the missing tooth (or teeth).
A bridge is a highly durable dental appliance and with proper care, can last up to 15 years or even longer.
Bridges are often recommended when you'd like to:
- Fill any gaps caused by missing teeth
- Prevent other teeth from drifting out of position
- Improve speaking and chewing ability
- Maintain your facial shape
- Avoid the use of a removable partial denture
- Where dental implants are not recommended
