Missing teeth can affect more than just the appearance of your smile. They can change the way you bite, make chewing less comfortable, and place additional stress on surrounding teeth. At Westpointe Dental, dental bridges offer a dependable solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring everyday function.
By closing gaps in your smile, a custom dental bridge can help maintain proper tooth alignment, improve oral function, and support your long-term oral health.
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth. The restoration consists of an artificial tooth, known as a pontic, that is secured in place by neighbouring teeth or dental implants.
Since every smile is unique, each bridge is carefully crafted to blend naturally with your existing teeth in both appearance and function. The result is a restoration that feels secure, looks natural, and helps restore the health and function of your smile.
When a tooth is lost, the surrounding teeth can gradually shift into the empty space. This movement may affect your bite, increase wear on other teeth, and make oral hygiene more difficult.

Receiving a dental bridge at Westpointe Dental is typically completed over two appointments.
The supporting teeth are prepared, and digital scans or impressions are taken to create your custom restoration. A temporary bridge may be placed to protect the area and maintain function while your final bridge is being fabricated.
Once your permanent bridge is ready, you will return for a second appointment. We will carefully assess the fit, bite alignment, and appearance of the restoration before securing it in place.
Our goal is to ensure your bridge feels comfortable, functions properly, and blends naturally with your smile.
A dental bridge can provide many years of reliable function when cared for properly. Daily brushing and flossing, along with routine dental examinations and professional cleanings, are essential for maintaining the health of the supporting teeth and surrounding gums.
Our team will provide personalized instructions and demonstrate techniques that can help keep your bridge clean and functioning at its best.
