Dental Bridges in North Vancouver

Another fixed option to replace a missing tooth is a dental bridge. Dental bridge replaces a missing tooth with a false tooth that is fused with two crowns that cap the two adjacent teeth beside the missing tooth. At Lionsgate Family Dental, we design and restore dental bridges that will help you regain your smile, confidence, and daily functioning ability including chewing and speaking that is impacted by the missing tooth. Just like dental crowns, dental bridges are prepared and delivered in the course of 2 appointments. At the first appointment the two adjacent teeth are prepared and an impression is taken of the affected teeth. An in-office temporary bridge is created and placed to protect your teeth while the impression is sent to a dental lab where the dental bridge is fabricated. At the second appointment which happens 1-2 weeks later, the temporary bridge is removed and the permanent bridge is cemented after careful assessment of its quality and fit.
