Dental Bridges Near You
Missing teeth can impact both the appearance of your smile and the functionality of your bite, making everyday activities like eating and speaking challenging. One effective solution to replace missing teeth is a dental bridge.
If this is something you’re interested in, contact our local dental practice. Our dentists near you, Dr. Linda Wong and Dr. Benson Wong, are happy to meet you.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge works by filling the gap created by a missing tooth, utilizing two crowns (abutments) on the adjacent teeth and a prosthetic tooth (pontic) to bridge the gap. This treatment not only restores your smile but also helps to prevent the remaining teeth from shifting or becoming misaligned. Dental bridges can be an ideal choice if the adjacent teeth require crowns, or if the missing tooth is small. However, for larger gaps, dental implants may be a more suitable option.
Why Consider a Dental Bridge?
If left untreated, missing teeth can cause neighbouring teeth to shift, leading to gum recession, uneven wear on the remaining teeth, and an imbalance bite. A dental bridge restores both form and function by stabilizing the surrounding teeth and preventing further dental issues.

At Mission Park Dental, our experienced dentists, Dr. Linda Wong and Dr. Benson Wong, will work with you to determine the best tooth replacement solution for your needs. Using digital scanning and our in-office Cerec milling machine, we can often complete the bridge in just one visit.
