Missing a tooth can affect your appearance, your confidence, and even your ability to eat and speak. At Macleod Trail Dental, we provide high-quality dental bridges in Calgary to help you regain a full, healthy smile.
Our Calgary dentists design custom dental bridges that look natural, feel comfortable, and fit seamlessly into your bite. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, we’re here to offer expert, affordable care.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap between two healthy teeth (or implants), anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) securely in place.
At Macleod Trail Dental, we offer:
-
Traditional Bridges: Supported by crowns on neighboring teeth.
-
Implant-Supported Bridges: Anchored onto dental implants for increased stability.
-
Maryland (Resin-Bonded) Bridges: A more conservative option using a bonded framework.
Our Calgary dentists will work with you to select the best type of bridge for your unique needs, budget, and long-term goals.
Benefits of Choosing a Dental Bridge
Choosing a dental bridge in Calgary can provide many important benefits:
✅ Restore your natural ability to chew and speak clearly
✅ Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of position
✅ Maintain your natural face shape and jawbone health
✅ Evenly distribute bite forces for a healthier smile
✅ Boost your confidence and enhance your smile aesthetics
Our goal is to restore both the function and beauty of your smile with a customized dental bridge solution.
What to Expect During Your Dental Bridge Procedure
At Macleod Trail Dental, we make the process easy and stress-free:
-
Initial Consultation: We perform a thorough exam, discuss your options, and create a personalized plan.
-
Tooth Preparation: The adjacent teeth are gently reshaped to support the bridge.
-
Impressions and Temporary Bridge: We take digital impressions to craft your permanent bridge and fit you with a temporary one.
-
Final Placement: Once your bridge is ready, we cement it securely, ensuring a perfect fit, function, and appearance.
Throughout the process, your comfort is our top priority.
How Long Does a Dental Bridge Last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental checkups, a dental bridge can last between 10 to 15 years — sometimes even longer.
We recommend daily brushing, flossing under your bridge with special tools, and attending professional cleanings at least twice a year to protect your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Bridges
How much does a dental bridge cost in Calgary?
The cost for a traditional dental bridge in Calgary typically ranges from $2,800 to $5,000 or more, depending on the materials used and the complexity of the case. Implant-supported bridges can cost more due to the surgical implant component. We will provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation.
Are dental bridges covered by insurance?
Most dental insurance plans cover a portion of dental bridge costs, especially when replacing a missing tooth for functional reasons. Our team will help you check your insurance benefits and submit claims on your behalf.
How do dental bridges compare to implants?
Both bridges and dental implants effectively replace missing teeth.
-
Dental implants are independent and prevent jawbone loss but cost more upfront.
-
Bridges are usually faster and may be more affordable initially, but they require support from adjacent teeth.
Our Calgary dentists can help you decide which option best fits your needs and lifestyle.
Can you eat normally with a dental bridge?
Yes! A well-fitted dental bridge allows you to chew comfortably and eat most foods. We recommend avoiding extremely sticky or hard foods to prolong the life of your bridge.
How do you care for a dental bridge?
-
Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste.
-
Floss around and under the bridge using floss threaders or water flossers.
-
Visit your Calgary dentist for regular cleanings and exams to maintain your bridge and surrounding teeth.
Proper care can dramatically extend the life of your dental bridge!
