The two crowns are then attached to the natural teeth next to the space, anchoring the pontics in place.<\/p>\n<p>Bridges are usually made of porcelain or ceramic, which can be matched to the color of your natural teeth. Bridges can also be made of metal or a combination of metal and porcelain.<\/p>\n<p>The decision about what type of bridge is best for you will be made by you and your dentist, taking into account the location of the missing tooth or teeth, your bite, and the aesthetics of your smile.<\/p>\n<p>Dental bridges are an effective way to restore your smile and improve your oral health.

Your dental insurance may cover some or all of the cost of a dental bridge. Dental bridges at <a href=\"https:\/\/simpli.dental\/blog\/our-clinic-in-photos\/\">Simpli Dental<\/a> start at $2,600.00 (plus lab fees). <a href=\"https:\/\/simpli.dental\/calgary\/cost-effective-dental-pricing-in-regina-saskatoon\/\">Please see our pricing page for additional information.<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>what are the types of dental bridges?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b><i>A traditional dental bridge<\/i><\/b> is a prosthetic tooth that is constructed using crowns on either side of the lost tooth and a substitute false tooth in between, replacing the missing tooth. This is the most frequent form of the bridge; one or more teeth may be replaced with it.

Pontics, on the other hand, is only supported by a crown on one side of the space, rather than both sides like a classic bridge (a pontic uses two pontics to support itself).<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Maryland dental bridges <\/i><\/b>are held in place by a metal or porcelain framework that is bonded to the adjacent teeth near the space. This bridge type protects the underlying tooth structure but is not as durable as a traditional bridge.<\/p>\n<h2><b>why are dental bridges needed?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>A dental bridge is needed to place a missing tooth. When a tooth is missing, the teeth adjacent and opposing the space can begin to drift, tilt and super erupt into the empty space. This can create difficulty in completing a bridge later, poor function or esthetics, bone loss or other complications. Contact your dentist today to learn more about dental bridges and to find out if a bridge is right for you.<\/p>\n<h2><b>how long do dental bridges last? what can you do to make your dental bridge last longer?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist on a regular basis can significantly affect how long your dental bridge will last. In general, dental bridges can survive between 5 and 15 years.<\/p>\n<h2><b>should I get a dental implant instead of a dental bridge?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The answer to this question depends on a number of factors including the condition of the remaining teeth, the amount of bone remaining, the patient\u2019s preferences, systemic health plus others. The best way to determine which tooth replacement option is better for your individual needs is by asking a dental professional.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/simpli.dental\/calgary\/contact-dental-office\/\">Contact Simpli Dental to book your next dental appointment.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-eke8gs-23e854a0c19f045aae4d554ea92b34e9\">\n.flex_column.av-eke8gs-23e854a0c19f045aae4d554ea92b34e9{\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-eke8gs-23e854a0c19f045aae4d554ea92b34e9 av_two_fifth  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding '     ><p><br \/>\n<div  class='hr av-avhfdo-a5565475394dffa86bf3c3e0dba8080b hr-default  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_codeblock  el_before_av_contact '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/simpli.dental\/calgary\/dental-bridge\/\" method=\"post\"  class=\"avia_ajax_form av-form-labels-visible   avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last   \" data-avia-form-id=\"1\" data-avia-redirect='' ><h3 class=''>send us an email<\/h3><fieldset><p class='  first_form  form_element form_fullwidth' id='element_avia_1_1'><label for=\"avia_1_1\">name <abbr class=\"required\" title=\"required\">*<\/abbr><\/label> <input name=\"avia_1_1\" class=\"text_input is_empty\" type=\"text\" id=\"avia_1_1\" value=\"\" \/><\/p><p class='  first_form  form_element form_fullwidth' id='element_avia_2_1'><label for=\"avia_2_1\">e-mail <abbr class=\"required\" title=\"required\">*<\/abbr><\/label> <input name=\"avia_2_1\" class=\"text_input is_email\" type=\"text\" id=\"avia_2_1\" value=\"\" \/><\/p><p class='  first_form  form_element form_fullwidth' id='element_avia_3_1'><label for=\"avia_3_1\">mobile phone number <abbr class=\"required\" title=\"required\">*<\/abbr><\/label> <input name=\"avia_3_1\" class=\"text_input is_phone\" type=\"text\" id=\"avia_3_1\" value=\"\" \/><\/p><p class='  first_form  form_element form_fullwidth av-last-visible-form-element' id='element_avia_4_1'><label for=\"avia_4_1\" class=\"textare_label hidden textare_label_avia_4_1\">message<\/label><textarea  name=\"avia_4_1\" class=\"text_area \" cols=\"40\" rows=\"7\" id=\"avia_4_1\" ><\/textarea><\/p><p class=\"hidden\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"avia_5_1\" class=\"hidden \" id=\"avia_5_1\" value=\"\" \/><\/p><p class=\"form_element \"><input type=\"hidden\" value=\"1\" name=\"avia_generated_form1\" \/><input type=\"submit\" value=\"submit\" class=\"button\"  data-sending-label=\"Sending\"\/><\/p><\/fieldset><\/form><div id=\"ajaxresponse_1\" class=\"ajaxresponse ajaxresponse_1 hidden\"><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Dental Bridges in Calgary - Call (403) 407-1749<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our Calgary dentists use dental bridges to replace one or more missing teeth or dental implants.
