Dental Bridges in Grimsby
Missing a tooth doesn’t just affect your smile—it can impact how you eat, speak, and feel every day. At Olive Street Dental, we provide natural-looking dental bridges to replace missing teeth and restore your confidence.
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. Bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and help maintain the shape of your face.
Why Replace a Missing Tooth?
When a tooth is lost, nearby teeth can drift into the space, leading to:
- Shifting and misalignment
- Bite problems
- Jaw discomfort
- Difficulty chewing or speaking clearly
Replacing missing teeth with a bridge helps protect your oral health and keep your bite stable over time.
Who Can Benefit from a Dental Bridge?
You may be a good candidate for a bridge if:
- You have one or more missing teeth in a row
- Your surrounding teeth are healthy enough to support a restoration (for a traditional bridge)
- You prefer a fixed, non-removable option
During your consultation, Dr. Amanpreet Kaur Sodhi will review your needs and recommend the best solution for your smile.
Types of Dental Bridges
We offer two main types of bridges:
Fixed Bridge
A fixed bridge uses the teeth next to the gap for support. The process involves:
- Preparing the neighboring teeth for crowns
- Creating a custom bridge with an artificial tooth (pontic) anchored between crowns
- Bonding it securely in place for a natural look and feel
Fixed bridges are strong, durable, and restore function beautifully.
Implant-Supported Bridge
An implant-supported bridge uses small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to hold the bridge. This option:
- Does not rely on natural teeth for support
- Helps preserve bone structure in the jaw
- Feels stable and secure
Implant bridges are a great choice for replacing multiple missing teeth in a row.
What to Expect
Your treatment usually includes:
- Consultation & Planning: We take digital scans or impressions and review your options.
- Preparation: If you choose a fixed bridge, surrounding teeth are reshaped. If you choose implants, placement is done in advance.
- Fabrication: Your bridge is custom-made to match your bite and the colour of your natural teeth.
- Placement: Once ready, we secure your bridge for a seamless finish.
Caring for Your Dental Bridge
With proper care, a bridge can last many years. To keep it in top shape:
- Brush and floss daily (including under the bridge)
- Visit us for regular cleanings and exams
- Avoid biting hard objects that could damage the bridge
