Restore Your Smile with Confidence: Toronto Dental Practice

Missing teeth don’t just affect your appearance—they can also impact your speech, ability to chew, and overall dental health. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with gaps in your smile. At Cliffside Dental and North Shores Dental in Toronto and Scarborough, we offer custom-crafted dental bridges designed to restore function and beauty while enhancing your confidence.

Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, our experienced dental teams at Cliffside and North Shores Dental are here to help you rediscover your smile’s full potential.

What Is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap with artificial teeth (pontics). These pontics are anchored in place by dental crowns cemented onto the neighboring natural teeth or dental implants.

Dental bridges not only improve the look of your smile, but they also:

• Prevent remaining teeth from shifting.
• Maintain proper bite alignment.
• Restore your ability to speak clearly and chew.
• Preserve the natural shape of your face.

Why Choose a Dental Bridge?

Losing a tooth can set off a chain reaction of oral health issues. Without timely replacement, nearby teeth may begin to drift into the gap, potentially causing misalignment, jaw pain, and difficulty maintaining oral hygiene.

By choosing a dental bridge at either of our clinics—Cliffside Dental or North Shores Dental—you’re investing in:

• A natural-looking solution that blends in perfectly with your existing teeth
• Durable materials built to withstand everyday chewing forces
• Preventative care that helps avoid more complex issues down the road

Types of Dental Bridges We Offer

At both our Scarborough and Toronto dental clinics, we customize the type of bridge based on your unique needs and oral health:

1. Traditional Dental Bridge

This bridge is the most common type, which involves placing crowns on the neighboring teeth to hold the pontic in place.

2. Cantilever Bridge

Used when only one adjacent tooth is available for support. This option is less common but can be effective in some instances.

3. Maryland Bridge

This option uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth, requiring less alteration.

4. Implant-Supported Bridge

Ideal for multiple missing teeth, this bridge is anchored using dental implants for superior stability and longevity.

Our Process: What to Expect

At Cliffside and North Shores Dental, we pride ourselves on delivering comfortable, efficient, personalized care. Your journey to a restored smile typically involves:

1. Initial Consultation & Exam – We’ll assess your oral health, take digital scans, and discuss the best bridge option for your unique situation.
2. Tooth Preparation – For traditional bridges, the adjacent teeth are prepared to receive crowns. Impressions are taken to ensure a precise fit.
3. Temporary Bridge Placement – While your permanent bridge is being crafted, you’ll wear a temporary bridge to protect your gums and teeth.
4. Final Bridge Fitting – Your custom bridge is securely bonded into place, restoring your complete smile function and aesthetics.

Caring for Your Dental Bridge

Dental bridges are a long-lasting solution, but they require proper care to maximize their lifespan—often 10 years or more with good habits. Here’s how to care for your bridge:

• Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
• Use floss threaders or water flossers to clean under the bridge.
• Visit us at Cliffside or North Shores Dental every six months for professional cleanings and exams.

Our team will provide tailored care instructions so you feel confident maintaining your new smile.
