Dental Bridges in Guelph, ON: Replace Missing Teeth With a Fixed Permanent Dental Bridge

Restore Your Smile and Confidence with a Natural-Looking Solution

Missing a tooth affects more than your smile — it can change how you eat, speak, and feel about yourself. At Scottsdale Dental Centre, we create custom dental bridges that restore both function and beauty to your smile. Using durable, tooth-coloured materials and advanced digital technology, our team ensures your bridge fits comfortably and looks completely natural.  Dr. Ahmad has almost 20 years experience in helping patients restore their smile.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap by anchoring artificial teeth (called pontics) to natural teeth or implants on either side.

Bridges help:

• Restore chewing and speaking ability

• Prevent shifting of remaining teeth

• Maintain facial shape and jaw alignment

• Improve confidence and appearance

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

Every smile is unique — and so are your restoration options. We provide several types of bridges, depending on your needs:

1. Traditional Bridge

   • The most common type.

   • Uses crowns on the teeth next to the gap to support the replacement tooth.

   • Best for healthy adjacent teeth.

2. Cantilever Bridge

   • Anchored by one supporting tooth on one side.

   • Ideal when only one neighbouring tooth is available.

3. Maryland (Resin-Bonded) Bridge

   • Uses metal or porcelain “wings” bonded to the backs of neighboring teeth.

   • A conservative option requiring minimal enamel removal.

4. Implant-Supported Bridge

   • Attached to dental implants instead of natural teeth.

   • Offers exceptional strength, durability, and jawbone preservation.

The Dental Bridge Procedure — Step by Step

Here’s what you can expect during your bridge treatment:

1. Consultation & Exam
   We assess your oral health, supporting teeth, and bite alignment using digital X-rays or 3D scans.

2. Preparation
   Supporting teeth are shaped for crowns, or implant posts are planned if needed.

3. Impressions or Scans
   A digital impression captures a precise model of your smile.

4. Temporary Bridge
   A temporary bridge protects your teeth while your permanent one is crafted.

5. Final Placement
   Your custom bridge is fitted, adjusted, and permanently bonded in place.

6. Follow-Up Care
   We review your bite and provide care instructions to ensure long-lasting results.

Typical timeline: about 2 appointments over 1–2 weeks (implant bridges may take longer).

How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?

With proper oral hygiene and regular checkups, bridges can last 10–15 years or longer.
Tips for longevity:

• Brush and floss daily (including under the bridge using a floss threader or water flosser).

• Maintain regular dental cleanings.

• Avoid biting hard foods (like ice or nuts).

Cost of a Dental Bridge in Guelph

The cost of a bridge depends on the number of teeth replaced, materials used, and type of bridge.

• Typical range: $2,000–$4,500

• Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of this treatment.

We’re happy to provide a detailed estimate during your consultation and discuss flexible payment or financing options.
