Dental Bridges in Martensville & North Central SK
Losing a tooth can make everyday things like chewing or speaking more challenging than they need to be. At Martensville Dental Clinic, we offer custom dental bridges that can replace missing teeth and help make your smile feel complete again. Our treatments are carefully planned for the patients from across North Central Saskatchewan, including Langham, Dalmeny, Warman, Aberdeen, North Saskatoon, and Radisson.
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are a common form of tooth replacement solution used to fill the space left by one or more missing teeth. It works by anchoring an artificial tooth (called a pontic) to natural teeth or implants (called abutments) on either side of the gap.
Bridges are a well-established part of restorative dentistry and are custom-made to blend with your existing teeth. In addition to filling the gap, they help prevent nearby teeth from shifting out of place.
Depending on your situation, a bridge can be supported by natural teeth or secured with dental implants. We’ll assess your oral health and recommend the option that offers the most reliable long-term result.
Why You Might Need a Dental Bridge
The effects of missing teeth go beyond appearance. Over time, the gaps left behind can change how your teeth fit together, make chewing more difficult, and place extra strain on your jaw. A dental bridge helps restore balance and prevent these issues from progressing.
You may need a fixed bridge for reasons such as:
- Tooth loss caused by decay or gum disease
- A fractured or damaged tooth that couldn’t be restored
- Teeth lost through injury or trauma
- Bite changes or discomfort caused by missing teeth
If you’re considering different missing tooth replacement options, our team can explain the potential benefits of dental bridges and help you decide what’s right for you.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
We provide a range of dental bridge options to suit different smiles and levels of tooth loss.
Traditional Bridges
Traditional dental bridges consist of dental crowns (caps) on both sides of the gap, with one or more artificial teeth (pontics) attached between them. They work best when you have healthy natural teeth on either side.
Cantilever Bridges
A cantilever bridge attaches to a single supporting tooth instead of two. It’s often used when a neighbouring tooth is available on only one side of the gap.
Maryland Bridges
Also called resin-bonded bridges, Maryland bridges use a lightweight metal or porcelain framework attached to the backs of neighbouring teeth. They require very little preparation and are typically used to replace missing front teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridge
An implant-supported bridge is similar to a traditional bridge, but it rests on top of dental implants instead of natural teeth. Dentists may recommend them when you have three or more missing teeth in a row.
After a full exam, we’ll recommend the type of fixed bridge that best supports your smile, bite, and overall comfort.
Our Dental Bridge Procedure
You’ll typically need two or more visits to get a dental bridge. Our clinic provides clear communication and a calm, patient-centred environment throughout the procedure.
Consultation and Oral Evaluation
We start with a full evaluation to confirm that a bridge is the right option for your tooth replacement needs.
Tooth or Implant Preparation
If you’re receiving a traditional bridge, we prepare the surrounding teeth for crowns. For implant-supported bridges, we review your existing implants or plan the next steps before placement.
Impressions and Fitting
We take detailed impressions to design your custom dental restoration, then fit a temporary bridge to protect the area.
Bridge Placement
When your new bridge is ready, we check the fit, colour, and bite to make sure it looks and feels right before securing it in place.fit, colour, and bite to make sure it looks and feels right before securing it in place.
Final Adjustments
Once placed, we make minor adjustments as needed and discuss how to care for your new bridge to keep it strong and comfortable long term.
Am I a Candidate for a Dental Bridge?
You may be a good candidate for a dental bridge if:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Maintain good daily oral hygiene
- Have healthy supporting teeth or healed implants
- Want to improve chewing, speech, or appearance
As with any restorative dentistry treatment, the best way to know if a bridge is right for you is through an in-person consultation. We’ll assess your oral health and recommend missing teeth solutions suitable for your goals and lifestyle.

FAQs About Dental Bridges
How long do dental bridges last?
Dental bridges can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years, sometimes longer, depending on your oral hygiene and lifestyle. Regular check-ups, brushing, and flossing all help extend the life of your bridge.
Do dental bridges look natural?
Yes. Modern bridges are custom-made to match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size. Most people can’t tell the difference once the bridge is in place.
What’s the difference between a dental bridge and an implant?
A bridge uses neighbouring teeth for support, while an implant is placed directly into the jawbone. Both options replace missing teeth, but they involve different procedures and timelines.
How do I take care of my dental bridge?
Brush and floss daily, including around the bridge, and use any special tools your dentist recommends. Routine check-ups help us monitor the bridge and keep the surrounding teeth and gums healthy.
What are the benefits of getting a dental bridge?
Dental bridges can restore your ability to chew and speak comfortably, prevent other teeth from shifting, and improve the appearance of your smile. They’re a reliable, fixed alternative to removable dentures.
How should I clean around my bridge?
Use a soft toothbrush and floss or interdental brushes to clean around the bridge. Special floss threaders may be recommended to clean under the pontic and between supporting teeth.
How much does a dental bridge cost in Saskatchewan?
The cost of dental bridges varies depending on the type you choose, the number of teeth involved, and the materials used. For details specific to your case, contact us directly. We’ll be happy to point you in the right direction.
