Dental Bridges in Toronto
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants, restoring both function and appearance.
At BK Dental, we create custom dental bridges that seamlessly fill the gap left by missing teeth. Our bridges restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Book a ConsultationWhat Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge literally bridges the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns attached to the teeth on either side of the gap (abutment teeth). Bridges can also be supported by dental implants. This fixed restoration stays permanently in place and functions like natural teeth.
Key Benefits
- Restores ability to chew and speak properly

How Dental Bridges in Toronto Is Performed
Evaluation & Planning
We assess the gap, examine abutment teeth health, and plan the bridge design using digital imaging.
Abutment Preparation
The teeth on either side of the gap are shaped to receive crowns that will anchor the bridge.
Impressions & Temporary
Detailed impressions are taken for custom bridge fabrication. A temporary bridge protects your teeth.
Bridge Placement
The custom bridge is fitted, adjusted for proper bite and aesthetics, and permanently cemented.
Recovery and Aftercare
After bridge placement, you may experience some sensitivity that resolves within a few weeks. Eating soft foods initially helps you adjust to the new restoration. Once comfortable, you can eat normally. Special floss threaders or interdental brushes help clean under the bridge pontic.
Aftercare Tips
- Some sensitivity is normal initially
- Start with softer foods and progress gradually
- Use floss threaders to clean under the bridge
- Brush the bridge like natural teeth
- Attend regular checkups for bridge maintenance
Cost of Dental Bridges in Toronto
Dental bridge costs in Toronto depend on the number of teeth being replaced, the materials used, and the complexity of the case. A three-unit bridge (replacing one tooth) differs in cost from longer-span bridges. Most dental insurance plans provide partial coverage. We offer detailed treatment estimates and payment options. Implant-supported bridges may be recommended for certain situations. CDCP coverage may apply for eligible patients.
