Dental Bridges
Porcelain Dental Bridges to Replace Missing Teeth
Missing teeth affect your bite, speech, and confidence. A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth. At St. Lawrence Dentistry in Mississauga, we create custom porcelain bridges that look and function like natural teeth. Unlike removable dentures, bridges are permanent and require no daily removal or special maintenance.
How Bridges Work
A bridge consists of two crowns (placed on teeth adjacent to the gap) and one or more artificial teeth that span the gap. The bridge is cemented permanently in place, restoring your ability to eat and speak normally.

Natural-Looking Results
Our porcelain bridges are crafted to match your natural teeth perfectly in color, shape, and size. No one will notice you’re wearing a restoration.
Durable and Long-Lasting
With proper care, porcelain bridges last 10 to 15 years or longer. They’re a stable, reliable solution for missing teeth.
Preserves Your Bite and Smile
A bridge keeps adjacent teeth from shifting into the gap and maintains your proper bite alignment. This prevents future problems and keeps your smile aligned.
Faster Than Implants
Unlike dental implants, bridges are completed in just two appointments. If you need a tooth replacement quickly, a bridge is an excellent option.
FAQS
Frequently asked questions
How long do dental bridges last?
With proper care, 10 to 15 years. Some bridges last even longer with excellent oral hygiene.
Is a bridge better than an implant?
Both have advantages. Bridges are faster and more affordable. Implants are more independent and don’t require altering adjacent teeth. We’ll discuss both options.
Will my bridge look natural?
Yes. We custom shade and shape your bridge to match your surrounding teeth perfectly.
How do I clean a bridge?
You brush and floss normally. Flossing under the bridge requires a special technique or floss threader, which we’ll show you.
Does getting a bridge hurt?
We numb the area completely. You’ll feel pressure during preparation but no pain.
Can a bridge be replaced if it breaks?
Yes. If your bridge is damaged, we can repair or replace it. Don’t delay seeking treatment if you notice damage.
Do I need to modify my diet with a bridge?
No. Once your bridge is fully healed, you can eat anything you normally would.
How much does a dental bridge cost?
Cost depends on the number of teeth being replaced and the materials used. Contact us for a specific estimate.
