At My Dental Home, we understand that missing teeth can affect both your confidence and your oral health. If you’re looking for a durable, natural-looking solution to replace one or more missing teeth, dental bridges in Markham, ON offer a proven and comfortable way to restore your smile.
Our team provides customized bridge restorations designed to look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth — giving you back the strength, stability, and appearance you deserve.
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that “bridges” the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) that are securely anchored in place by crowns attached to the natural teeth or dental implants on either side of the gap.
Dental bridges not only restore your smile but also help:
At My Dental Home, every bridge is custom-made to match your natural teeth perfectly in shape, shade, and fit.
We provide several types of bridges depending on your specific needs and oral health:
The most common type; this bridge uses crowns placed on the natural teeth adjacent to the missing tooth or teeth to anchor the pontic securely.
Used when there is only one supporting tooth next to the gap, ideal for areas of the mouth with less bite pressure.
Also known as a resin-bonded bridge, this option uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth — often used for front tooth replacement.
Instead of relying on natural teeth, this bridge is anchored by dental implants, offering maximum stability and bone preservation.
During your consultation, our dentists will evaluate your needs and recommend the best bridge option for restoring your smile.
Your dental bridge treatment typically involves two to three visits:
With proper care, a high-quality dental bridge can last 10–15 years or more, restoring both function and aesthetics.
It’s normal to experience mild sensitivity or pressure during the first few days after your bridge placement — this will subside as you adjust.
To stay comfortable during the transition:
Your bridge should soon feel completely natural — blending seamlessly into your smile.
Maintaining your bridge is simple with consistent care:
Good oral hygiene and regular professional care help extend the life of your bridge for many years.

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) anchored to healthy teeth or dental implants on either side, restoring both function and appearance.
Bridges rely on support from the surrounding teeth or implants. The supporting teeth (abutments) are fitted with crowns that hold the artificial tooth in place, creating a stable and natural-looking replacement that functions like your real teeth.
There are four main types:
Your dentist will recommend the best option for your needs and oral health.
You may be a good candidate if you’re missing one or more teeth, have healthy gums, and have strong supporting teeth or implants. Bridges are ideal for patients seeking a non-removable, natural-looking replacement without undergoing full implant treatment.
The process typically takes two to three visits over a few weeks. The first visit includes exams, digital impressions, and tooth preparation. A temporary bridge is worn until your custom bridge is ready for final placement.
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure comfort. You may experience mild sensitivity or tightness for a few days after placement, but this quickly subsides as your mouth adjusts.
With proper care, dental bridges can last 10–15 years or longer. Their longevity depends on good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and avoiding habits like chewing on hard objects or ice.
Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.
Use a floss threader or interdental brush to clean under the bridge and along the gumline.
Rinse with antibacterial mouthwash and maintain regular professional cleanings to keep your bridge and gums healthy.
Start with soft foods like yogurt, eggs, and pasta for the first few days. Once comfortable, you can return to a normal diet — just avoid overly sticky or hard foods that might loosen or damage the bridge.
Contact our office right away. A loose bridge could indicate cement failure or underlying gum issues. Avoid adjusting it yourself — timely care prevents damage and ensures long-term success.
Each option has benefits. Bridges are fixed, non-removable, and completed faster than implants. Implants last longer but require surgery, while dentures are removable and may feel less stable. We’ll help you compare options during your consultation.
The cost varies depending on materials, number of teeth replaced, and bridge type. Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of the cost. Our team can provide an estimate and review payment and financing options during your visit.
