What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a permanent dental solution that fills in the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the empty space using fake teeth held in place by dental crowns that are attached to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. This custom bridge helps restore the look, feel and function of your natural smile. Depending on your situation we may recommend a traditional dental bridge, a Maryland bridge or an implant supported bridge. No matter the type, a dental bridge helps keep everything in alignment, prevents remaining teeth from shifting and keeps your bite balanced.Benefits of Dental Bridges
Choosing a dental bridge doesn’t just improve your smile, it plays a big role in your overall oral health. It helps you chew, speak and smile with confidence while keeping your teeth in the right position. With proper care and regular dental visits a dental bridge can be a long term solution that lasts for many years. At Smilestone Dental we make sure your bridge blends in with your existing teeth and supports your long term oral health goals.
5 Key Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restores Chewing Function
A missing tooth can make eating difficult or even painful. Dental bridges help restore your ability to chew comfortably by filling in the gap with a fake tooth that functions like a natural one. So you can enjoy your favourite foods again. - Prevents Teeth Shifting
When you lose a tooth, the adjacent teeth may start to move into the gap, which can cause alignment issues. A dental bridge keeps your remaining teeth in place, so your bite stays balanced. - Improves Your Smile’s Appearance
A gap in your teeth can make you self conscious. A custom bridge made from porcelain fused to metal or other lifelike materials is a natural looking solution that blends in with your smile. It boosts your confidence and overall appearance. - Long-Lasting, Permanent Solution
With proper care your permanent bridge can last many years. Our experienced dentists ensure a proper fit, so your bridge feels secure and comfortable. When maintained through good oral hygiene and regular checkups it’s a long term solution that really lasts.

The Dental Bridges Process at Smilestone Dental
Getting a dental bridge is a simple and comfortable process at Smilestone Dental. Our team will take the time to explain your options and guide you through each step of the dental bridge process. We customize each bridge to match your bite, smile and facial structure for the most natural looking possible. Most dental bridges in Vancouver are completed in two visits and are carefully crafted to ensure a proper fit. We want to provide a permanent one that gets your smile and your confidence back.First Visit – Consultation & Preparation
During your first visit, we’ll evaluate your smile, take X-rays, and discuss the most suitable type of bridge for your needs. We’ll prepare the two abutments (the nearby teeth on either side of the gap) by shaping them to fit the crowns that will hold the bridge. A temporary bridge may be placed to protect your gums and teeth while your custom bridge is being made.
Impressions & Customization
We take impressions of your teeth and send them to our lab where your custom bridge is designed. This ensures the bridge will match your natural teeth in size, color and shape. We’ll go over materials and options such as porcelain fused to metal for a natural looking finish.
Second Visit – Fitting the Bridge
Once your permanent bridge is ready (usually within a few weeks), you’ll return for fitting. We’ll remove the temporary bridge and check the fit, comfort and alignment of the new one. Any needed adjustments will be made to ensure a perfect match with your existing teeth.
Cementing the Bridge
If everything feels right we’ll permanently cement the bridge in place using dental-grade bonding. This will make your bridge feel secure and restore full chewing function and oral function. Your bite problems and any discomfort from the gap will be resolved.
Follow-Up and Aftercare
We’ll provide guidance on proper care, including brushing, flossing and maintaining good oral hygiene. You’ll also be scheduled for regular checkups to monitor your oral health and ensure your bridge fits well. With regular care your Vancouver dental bridges can last many years.
