Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of crowns placed on adjacent teeth with a false tooth (pontic) suspended between them. At Ryerson Smile Boutique, we craft custom bridges that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics in just a few visits.

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a prosthetic tooth (pontic) between two crowns placed on adjacent natural teeth.

The teeth adjacent to the gap are shaped to accept crowns, then impressions are taken to fabricate the bridge. At a follow-up visit, the bridge is permanently cemented in place.

Bridges restore your ability to chew and speak normally, prevent remaining teeth from shifting into the gap, and maintain the natural shape of your face and smile.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

01

Who might consider this treatment?

Patients missing one or more teeth who want a fixed, non-removable solution without implants.

02

What is the typical experience?

Adjacent teeth are prepared as anchors, a temporary bridge is placed, then the permanent one is bonded at a second visit.

03

How long does it usually take?

Two appointments about 2–3 weeks apart.

04

Is there anything to keep in mind?

Cleaning under the bridge daily is important. A floss threader or water flosser makes it easy.

05

What should I know about recovery after?

Some sensitivity around the prepared teeth for a few days is normal and settles on its own.
