What Happens During a Dental Bridge Procedure?
Traditional or Cantilever Bridge
- The supporting teeth are reshaped to hold crowns.
- Impressions or digital scans are taken to design your bridge.
- A temporary bridge is placed while your custom restoration is made.
- On your final visit, the bridge is checked for fit, bite, and color, then permanently cemented.
Implant-Supported Bridge
- Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone.
- After healing and integration, the bridge is attached to the implants for a secure, permanent result.
- Our Vaughan team ensures comfort and precision at every step for a natural, long-lasting outcome.
