The Dental Bridge Process at Red Rose Dentistry
- Consultation + X-rays — Dr. Khakani assesses the gap, adjacent teeth, and bite
- Tooth preparation — The two anchor teeth are reduced to receive crowns (local anesthetic; completely painless)
- Impressions + temporary bridge — Precise impressions sent to our dental lab; a temporary bridge protects your teeth
- Lab fabrication — 7–10 days (zirconia or porcelain-fused-to-zirconia)
- Final fitting — Permanent bridge is checked for fit, colour, and bite; cemented in place
How Long Does a Dental Bridge Last in Hamilton?
With proper care, dental bridges at Red Rose Dentistry last 10–15+ years:
- Floss daily under the bridge using a floss threader or water flosser
- Attend cleanings every 6 months (CDCP free for eligible patients)
- Wear a night guard if you grind — grinding fractures bridges
- Avoid biting hard foods (ice, hard candy) with the bridge
Why Missing Teeth Need to Be Replaced — Hamilton Ontario 2026
Leaving a gap untreated leads to:
- Bone loss — jawbone resorbs without a tooth root to stimulate it
- Shifting teeth — adjacent and opposing teeth drift into the gap over months
- Bite problems — uneven bite loads can cause TMJ and jaw pain
- Gum disease risk — harder to clean; food traps in the gap
- Appearance — visible gap affects confidence and smile
