Dental Bridges at Shen Dental in Vancouver

Dental bridges are a restorative solution designed to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap. Bridges restore functionality and appearance, helping you chew, speak, and smile with confidence.

What to Expect During Your Visit

  • Consultation and Examination:
    • Dr. Fisher will evaluate your teeth and gums to determine if a bridge is the best option.
    • Digital X-rays may be taken to assess the health of the supporting teeth.
  • Tooth Preparation:
    • The teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth) are prepared by reshaping them to accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
  • Impressions and Temporary Bridge:
    • Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-fitted bridge.
    • A temporary bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth.
  • Placement of the Permanent Bridge:
    • On your follow-up visit, the permanent bridge will be adjusted for fit and cemented into place.
    • Dr. Fisher will ensure proper alignment and bite functionality.
