Replace Missing Teeth
with a Dental Bridge
Dental bridges are a very common dental procedure that not only helps with cosmetic appearances but also improves functionality. When you are missing teeth and need to fill the gap, dental bridges are a common solution to replace the empty area in your mouth.
There are many different benefits to getting dental bridges. Dental bridges are a great way to prevent teeth around the gapped area from drifting out of position and causing further dental issues in the future. They are a popular dental solution for many individuals due to their convenience and durability compared to removable dentures. Also, aside from implant-supported bridge type, this is a non-invasive procedure and doesn’t require surgery like dental implants would require. Of course, everyone’s individual situation can make one dental solution more effective than another, and consulting with a dental professional is the best course of action.

Types of Dental Bridges
If you’re wondering what the different types of dental bridges are, there are a few options your dentist might suggest for your particular situation. If you’re unsure what the best dental procedure or bridge type is for your missing teeth, reach out to Pretoria Bridge Dental today! We’re the bridge experts, it’s right in our name! Here are some of the most common types of dental bridges your dentist might suggest:
Traditional Bridges
Traditional bridges involve placing a crown on top of the two teeth surrounding the gapped area with an artificial tooth in the middle to sit.
Cantilever Bridges
Cantilever bridges are used when there is only one usable tooth next to the gapped area available to support the replacement or pontic tooth.
Maryland bridges
Maryland bridges are similar to traditional bridges although they bond metal wings to the backs of adjacent teeth as support as opposed to a full dental crown.

Chantal L.Modern & Clean Office
“I have enjoyed every experience I've had at Pretoria Bridge Dental and as someone who used to dread dental visits, that's not something I thought I'd ever say. The front staff are knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. The hygienists and dentists I've seen are the same! So knowledgeable and patient answering any questions I have. The facilities are very modern, clean and I love that there are screens in the rooms where the dentists can show and explain the photos and x-rays of your teeth.”
Laura M..Excellent Experience
“I have been a patient at Pretoria Bridge Dental all my life (since I was 3-4 years old). I have had the pleasure of seeing multiple hygienists and dentists over that period and I've had an excellent experience each time. All the staff are very friendly and competent. And the office is very well set up (the new renovations are excellent). Also, the central location is convenient as I have moved numerous times around Ottawa (East, West, South). I highly recommend Pretoria Bridge Dental to anyone looking for a dentist in Ottawa.”
