What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) anchored by natural teeth or dental implants on either side. A properly fitted dental bridge restores function and helps maintain the natural shape of your face and smile. At Harvest Pointe Dental, we offer tooth bridge services, personalized to your dental health, lifestyle, and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions Dental Bridge
How long do dental bridges last?
With proper care and regular dental visits, a dental bridge can last 10–15 years or more.
What's the difference between a bridge and an implant?
A bridge uses surrounding teeth for support, while an implant replaces the tooth root directly. Bridges are typically faster and less invasive.
Are dental bridges painful to get?
Our Edmonton dentists use local anesthesia during the procedure.
Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?
Yes! Once the bridge is placed and adjusted, you can enjoy most foods as you did with your natural teeth.
