Dental Bridges in Napanee & Kingston, Ontario

Dental Bridgework - Dentists in Kingston or Napanee

Missing teeth can cause a host of problems including speaking and chewing difficulties, all while making it somewhat embarrassing to smile. If you’re looking for an effective and natural-looking way to replace your missing teeth, dental bridgework offers many benefits.

A dental bridge replaces missing teeth by using healthy neighbouring teeth as support. Bridges are durable, natural looking and won’t shift around like conventional dentures. They are also semi-permanent, meaning that only your dentist can remove them.

Dental bridges can help:

•    Make it easier to chew
•    Improve your smile
•    Minimize tooth shifting
•    Enhance your bite
•    Restore your face’s structure 

To place your dental bridge, you will be required to come in for two dental appointments. The first visit involves a Napanee or Kingston dentist preparing your teeth for the bridge by removing a small amount of enamel from the healthy molars that surround the gap, left by your missing tooth / teeth. This is done to ensure the dental crowns (which will act as "anchors" for your bridge) fits perfectly. Once this is done, your Napanee / Kingston dentist will make an impression of your teeth and send them to a dental lab to fabricate your dental bridge. While your bridge is being made, you’ll be placed with a temporary one. 

You’ll come into our office again once your permanent bridge is ready. Your Napanee / Kingston Dentist will gently remove your temporary bridge and fit you with your permanent bridge. We will also give you instructions to care for and clean your bridge.
