Dental Bridges in Regina
A Secure, Fixed Option to Replace Missing Teeth
Missing a tooth can affect more than how your smile looks, it can negatively impact how you chew, speak, and feel. A dental bridge offers a lasting solution.
If you have lost a tooth, the space it leaves behind can cause neighbouring teeth to shift. This can change how your teeth bite together, leading to strain on your remaining teeth and jaw over time. A bridge “bridges the gap” by anchoring a false tooth (or teeth) to the healthy teeth on either side, restoring your smile and your bite.
It’s a secure, fixed solution and can often be completed in just a couple of visits.
Types Of Bridges We Offer
Traditional Bridge: Anchored to crowns on the natural teeth next to the space.
Cantilever Bridge: Used when there’s only one adjacent tooth available.
Implant-Supported Bridge: Anchored to dental implants instead of natural teeth, ideal for multiple missing teeth.
We will review your specific case and recommend the best type of bridge for your needs, comfort, and long-term oral health.

What To Expect
Getting a dental bridge usually takes two appointments. During the first, we will prepare the anchor teeth (or place implants if needed), take impressions, and fit a temporary bridge. The final bridge is custom made to match your smile and is placed at your second visit.
We will make sure everything fits comfortably, functions properly, and looks natural before you leave.
How Long Does a Bridge Last?
With proper brushing, flossing, and routine checkups, a dental bridge can last 10+ years. We’ll show you how to care for it at home and monitor it during your regular exams.
