Discover the benefits of Dental Bridges
Bridges in Newmarket, ON
More than just a dental office in Newmarket, we like to think of ourselves as an oasis for our patients to hopefully relax and even possibly enjoy their visits to the dentist, after all. Oasispark Dental is proud to provide a comfortable environment for people to receive dental treatments and undergo necessary or cosmetic procedures to improve their teeth and smile.
One such option we might recommend is bridges. A bridge is a fixed dental restoration that functions and feels pretty much exactly like your natural teeth. It consists of porcelain or ceramic fabricated tooth or teeth, made to be as identical as possible to your natural teeth’ colour and appearance. The bridge also has a crown attached at both ends, which provides an anchor to secure it to your existing teeth properly.

Bridges in Newmarket, ON, are ideal if you are missing a single tooth or multiple teeth. Over time, the teeth you have that surround the gap in your mouth will gradually shift towards the gap. This then leads to misalignment of your facial structure, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, and negative impacts on your ability to chew. It can also cause bone loss, as well as increase your chances of developing gum disease.
A bridge can help prevent these adverse outcomes by correcting your bite and ensuring that the teeth’ forces are evenly distributed. Meanwhile, it also improves the look, shape, and straightness of your teeth. So enter our dental oasis, and we will take care of finding you the proper treatment for your dental concerns. Call or email our Newmarket dental practice today to schedule an appointment.
Bridging your gap
Applying bridges in Newmarket, ON, as a dental treatment requires a few different steps, but we strive to make the experience comfortable and considerably relaxing for you.
- We prepare the teeth on both sides of the gap for a crown. It requires a bit of enamel reshaping for the anchoring crowns at each end of the bridge.
- We take impressions of the prepared tooth with an iTero scan and send them to a laboratory.
- We fit your prepared teeth with temporary crowns while the bridge is being created in the lab, which you wear until the permanent version is ready.
- We cement the crowns on either side of the bridge to your prepared teeth once it is ready.
As is usually the case when it comes to your natural teeth and any dental restorations, your bridge can last a long time (even a lifetime!) if you practice good oral care and maintenance. This includes proper brushing, flossing, avoiding hard foods, as well as visiting our dental oasis for regular checkups and cleanings.
