Dental Bridges in Toronto: Restore Your Smile with Dr. Ramin Hassanein & Associates

Missing teeth can impact more than just your smile. They can affect your bite, speech, and overall oral health. At Dr. Ramin Hassanein & Associates in Toronto, we offer dental bridges as a reliable and long-lasting solution to restore your smile and functionality.

What is a Dental Bridge?

A dental bridge is a custom-made, fixed (non-removable) prosthetic device designed to fill the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It's permanently bonded in place, providing a stable and natural-looking replacement.

Why Choose a Dental Bridge?

• Replacing Missing Teeth: Bridges effectively fill gaps, restoring a complete smile.
• Preventing Tooth Shifting: They prevent adjacent teeth from drifting into the empty space, which can cause bite problems.
• Improving Aesthetics: Bridges enhance the appearance of your smile and boost confidence.
• Supporting Full Mouth Rehabilitation: They can be an integral part of a comprehensive plan to restore your oral health.
• Alternative to Dental Implants: Bridges provide a viable option when dental implant therapy isn't suitable.

The Dental Bridge Procedure at Dr. Ramin Hassanein & Associates

1. Preparation: Similar to preparing for dental crowns, the teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth) are carefully shaped to support the bridge. An impression is taken, and a temporary bridge is placed to protect the area.
2. Placement: The custom bridge is fabricated at a dental lab. At your next visit, we ensure the bridge fits perfectly and bond it securely in place.

The Importance of Replacing Missing Teeth

Ignoring missing teeth can lead to a cascade of oral health problems. The surrounding teeth can shift, causing:

• Increased Risk of Tooth Decay: Misaligned teeth are harder to clean, increasing the risk of cavities.
• Uneven Wear and Bite Force: Shifting teeth can lead to premature wear and an unbalanced bite.
• Impact on Bite and Appearance: Missing teeth can negatively affect your bite and detract from your smile's appearance.
