Types of Dental Bridges
We Offer in Oakville
The right bridge type depends on the location of the missing tooth, the condition of adjacent teeth, and your specific needs.
Traditional Bridge
The most common type. Crowns on adjacent teeth support one or more artificial teeth (pontics) in between. Ideal when healthy teeth exist on both sides of the gap.
Implant-Supported Bridge
Supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth. Ideal for replacing multiple adjacent missing teeth without affecting healthy teeth. The strongest and longest-lasting option.
Maryland (Resin-Bonded) Bridge
A conservative option that uses metal or porcelain wings bonded to the back of adjacent teeth. Minimal preparation required, making it the most conservative fixed option.

Dental Bridges in Oakville: Your Complete Guide
A dental bridge literally "bridges" the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns attached to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. At Bristol Circle Dental, our dentists create custom bridges that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.
Why Replace Missing Teeth?
Missing teeth affect more than your appearance. Gaps can cause remaining teeth to shift, alter your bite alignment, lead to jaw joint problems, and increase the risk of gum disease and tooth decay in the remaining teeth. A dental bridge restores both function and aesthetics while preventing these complications.
Materials We Use
At Bristol Circle Dental, we offer bridges crafted from porcelain, zirconia, and porcelain-fused-to-metal. Porcelain and zirconia bridges are metal-free and provide the most natural appearance, making them our preferred choice for visible areas. Our dentists will recommend the best material based on the location and function of the bridge.
Caring for Your Dental Bridge
Maintaining your bridge requires daily flossing under the pontic using a floss threader or water flosser, brushing twice daily, and visiting Bristol Circle Dental for regular professional cleanings. With proper care, your bridge will provide years of comfortable, reliable service.

Comprehensive Evaluation
We examine the gap, evaluate adjacent teeth (abutments), and take digital X-rays to determine the best bridge type for your situation.
Abutment Preparation
The teeth on either side of the gap are carefully shaped to support the bridge. Digital impressions ensure a precise fit.
Temporary Bridge
A temporary bridge protects your prepared teeth while your custom permanent bridge is fabricated by our ceramics lab.
Permanent Placement
Your custom bridge is tried in, adjusted for perfect fit and bite alignment, then permanently cemented for a seamless result.
