Fill gaps caused by 1 to 3 missing teeth

A dental bridge restores the appearance and health of your mouth by covering spaces with a false tooth supported by either dental implants, your natural teeth, or a combination of both. Sometimes referred to as a ‘fixed partial denture’, bridges are bonded or cemented to your teeth and do not need to be removed to sleep or to clean them. Filling tooth gaps is important, not just for appearances, but for your long-term oral health. Missing teeth can make it difficult to speak or chew food and, with a gap, other teeth are free to shift around.

Long-lasting benefits of dental bridges

A missing tooth or teeth can leave us feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable. A dental bridge is a great way get your smile looking and feeling normal again, but it also offers long term benefits for your other teeth and the bone health of your mouth. To sum it up, here are the advantages of a dental bridge:

Comfort

These are the obvious advantages because they affect us right now. Feel and look normal again. Smile and eat with confidence and get back the smile you know and love. Missing teeth just don’t feel great and sometimes gaps make it difficult or painful to speak or eat. Dental bridges are a long-lasting solution to discomfort caused by missing teeth – more than ten years with proper care.

Tooth health

Your teeth support each other and contribute to your facial structure. Missing teeth can alter your bite and leave space for other teeth to shift around. A dental bridge blocks teeth from shifting around reducing the risk of decay, periodontal disease, jaw pain and TMJ disorder caused by rogue teeth.

Bone health

Healthy, stable teeth encourage healthy jawbones. As our dental health diminishes so does the health of bone and tissues that support our teeth. Stabilizing your dental health with a dental bridge will slow the rate of bone loss from your missing teeth.

The cost of a dental bridge in Burnaby

The cost of a dental bridge can vary widely from patient to patient. With a typical insurance plan, a dental bridge averages out to about $800 to $1200+. Without insurance, a reasonable ball-park figure for a bridge would be about $2000 to $3000 and up.

    What goes into determining the cost of a dental bridge?
  • The type of bridge and the material used to make it.
  • The number of teeth that are missing.
  • The location and complexity of the procedure.
  • The condition of the teeth adjacent to the gap.
  • Supplies and equipment that are required for your specific treatment.

Remember, no dental practice can provide an accurate quote over the phone. Ultimately, your needs are as unique as your smile. It’s important to speak with a dentist and undergo an oral exam to find out all your treatment options and to receive an accurate quote. If you have dental insurance, we would be happy to supply you with a quote to submit to them so you can find out your out-of-pocket costs before you make a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are different types of dental bridges – permanent and semi-permanent. Bridges are sometimes referred to as fixed partial dentures because they are semi-permanent and are bonded to existing teeth or implants. The easiest way to tell the difference between a bridge (which stays put) and a denture (which is removable) is that bridges are just the teeth whereas dentures have those pink gums.
Cantilever bridges are used when there aren’t adjacent teeth on both sides of the missing teeth. They aren’t very common anymore and aren’t recommended in the back of the mouth where it can apply too much force to other teeth and damage them. If your missing teeth are in the back of your mouth, there are other solutions available.
The process usually takes two appointments with each appointment lasting less than an hour.
Bridges can be constructed from gold alloys, non-precious alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. We primarily use porcelain for our dental bridge procedures.
Sometimes, people use the terms dental bridge and crown interchangeably. The reality is they have different functions. Dental crowns are prosthetic caps that are placed over broken, chipped, or worn teeth. They are effective in strengthening the teeth and preventing tooth decay. Dental bridges are designed to bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
A crowns, all by itself, cannot replace a missing tooth. The crown refers to a dental cap that looks and feels like a tooth but it needs to be supported inside and beneath the gum line by either an existing and prepared tooth, a partial tooth with a post or a dental implant.
Bridges can be made of Zirconia. Ask us for more information and we would be happy to show you what materials are available and what our recommendations are for your specific needs.

I first met Dr. Ken at Maple Ridge Dental Valley, and from the very beginning, I knew I was in the best hands. His genuine care, attention to detail, and deep concern for my dental health have always stood out. When he moved his practice to Burnaby, and we moved from Maple Ridge to Abbotsford, there was no question in my mind—I would follow him wherever he went. Trust like this is rare, and I’m so grateful to have found a dentist who truly cares not just for my teeth, but for me as a person. What makes Dr. Ken even more exceptional is how much he understands and respects his patients’ financial situations. He takes the time to explain every option, never pushes unnecessary treatments, and gives honest advice about what can wait and what needs attention now. He helps you plan realistically without pressure, which shows he cares more about your well-being than just filling his own pocket. That kind of integrity is rare—and it means everything. 🥰🙏

This is the most professional dental clinic I’ve ever been to, and they do an amazing job of explaining everything in a way that patients can easily understand. At most dental offices, the explanations are often too brief—you’re told where the problem is and that it needs to be treated, but you’re left unsure about what’s really going on with your teeth. However, at this clinic, the doctor takes the time to thoroughly explain everything from why the issue is happening to how they plan to treat it, making it so much easier to trust the process. I was treated by Dr. Christabelle, and not only was she incredibly kind, but you can also tell just how skilled she is the moment you receive treatment. My husband also had his wisdom tooth removed here, and he was extremely satisfied—he even said he’s glad we found such a great dental clinic! 😆 The receptionists are always friendly and welcoming, which makes each visit even better. Plus, their equipment is top-notch and up-to-date, which adds to the trustworthiness of their care. Highly recommend this place! 😊👏

This is the best dental service I have ever received in Canada. Dr. Ken is very professional, kind, friendly, and knowledgeable. I did my fillings and Invisalign treatment with him, and I was extremely satisfied with both the process and the results. The clinic’s facility is new, spacious, and clean, equipped with the latest updated technology. The front desk staff are very helpful and always do their best to schedule appointments that fit my schedule. Even though I moved to the East, Dr. Ken and his team are always willing to assist me with any concerns I have. Their dedication and exceptional service make every visit a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for professional and caring dental care!
