Dental Bridges in Stony Plain
A dental bridge is a custom-made restoration designed to replace one or more missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. At Stony Plain Dental Centre, we offer durable and natural-looking dental bridges to help patients regain confidence in their smiles.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) that are secured in place by crowns or implants on either side of the gap. Bridges help to:
- Restore chewing and speaking function
- Prevent remaining teeth from shifting
- Maintain the natural alignment of your bite

Types of Dental Bridges
We offer different types of dental bridges, including:
Traditional Dental Bridges
- Supported by dental crowns on adjacent natural teeth
- Ideal for patients with strong, healthy surrounding teeth
Implant-Supported Bridges
- Secured with dental implants instead of natural teeth
- Provides greater stability and long-term durability
Cantilever Bridges
- Anchored on only one supporting tooth
- Used in specific cases where a traditional bridge is not possible
Maryland Bonded Bridges
- Uses metal or porcelain wings attached to the back of the adjacent teeth
- Minimally invasive option that does not require crowns
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Consultation & Treatment Planning – We assess your teeth and discuss the best bridge option.
- Tooth Preparation – For traditional bridges, adjacent teeth are prepared for crowns.
- Impressions & Temporary Bridge – We take precise impressions and place a temporary bridge.
- Permanent Bridge Placement – Once ready, your custom bridge is securely bonded into place.
Caring for Your Dental Bridge
To maintain the longevity of your dental bridge, we recommend:
- Brushing and flossing daily, especially around the bridge
- Using a floss threader to clean beneath the bridge
- Scheduling regular dental checkups to monitor bridge integrity
