Dental Bridges in Danforth, Toronto

A gap from a missing tooth can make chewing awkward and let the teeth beside it drift out of place. At Ivory Dental, we offer dental bridges at our Danforth Avenue clinic in Toronto. Before recommending a bridge, we examine the gap, the teeth on each side and your bite, and we explain the options that fit.

Call (416) 461-6516 or contact Ivory Dental to book a bridge consultation at our Danforth clinic.

How a Dental Bridge Works

A bridge fills the space where one or more teeth are missing. It’s usually made of an artificial tooth joined between two crowns. There are several types, and we’ll go through them with you:

• Traditional bridge. The healthy teeth on either side of the gap are prepared to hold dental crowns, and the replacement tooth sits between them.
• Implant-supported bridge. The bridge is attached to dental implants instead of natural teeth.

Which type suits you depends on the teeth next to the gap, the bone in the area and how many teeth are missing.

Is a Bridge the Right Choice?

Not every gap calls for the same treatment. We look at the neighbouring teeth, your gums, your bite and the bone under the gap. If a bridge isn’t the best fit, we’ll explain the other options, such as a single implant or a removable denture, along with the trade-offs of each, so you can decide with the full picture. If you’d like to read more first, our article on when you might need a dental bridge covers the common reasons.

Caring for a Bridge

Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth and keep your regular exams so we can check the bridge and the teeth that hold it. Call the clinic if the bridge feels loose or your bite changes. Our article on food traps and cleaning around dental bridges has practical tips for keeping the area clean.

Dental Bridges at Our Danforth Clinic

You’ll find us at 2137 Danforth Ave. in Toronto. When you call, tell us whether a tooth is already missing, is about to be removed, or whether you’re replacing an older bridge, so the team can book the right appointment. If you’re replacing an older bridge, it also helps to mention roughly when it was placed.

The fee for a bridge depends on how many teeth it spans, the materials and any treatment needed first. We’ll explain the cost for your case after the exam and before treatment begins, so there’s time to compare it with the alternatives.
