A fixed dental bridge, also called a fixed partial denture, is a permanent dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures, the fixed bridge is permanently cemented in your mouth, providing optimal stability and comfort.

A fixed bridge consists of:

  • Artificial teeth (pontics) that replace the missing teeth
  • Dental crowns that act as abutments and attach to the adjacent natural teeth
  • A porcelain or ceramic structure for a natural look

This solution fills the gap left by your missing teeth while preserving the alignment of your teeth.

Choosing a fixed bridge in Sainte-Julie offers many benefits:

Natural aesthetics
Our fixed bridges are custom-made from high-quality porcelain to perfectly mimic the appearance of your natural teeth. No one will notice the difference!

Permanent solution
Once installed, your fixed bridge stays permanently in place. You do not have to remove it for cleaning like a removable denture.

Complete restoration of function
Regain the ability to chew all your favourite foods without pain or discomfort. The fixed bridge withstands chewing forces perfectly.

Preservation of your dental structure
By filling the gap, the fixed bridge prevents your adjacent teeth from shifting and helps avoid occlusion problems.

Improved speech
Missing teeth can affect your speech. A fixed bridge lets you speak clearly and with confidence.

Exceptional durability
With proper care, a fixed bridge can last 10 to 15 years, or even longer.

At AM Denturologiste, we offer different types of fixed bridges to suit your needs:

The most common type. The adjacent teeth are prepared to receive crowns, and the bridge is cemented permanently in place. Ideal for replacing one or more consecutive teeth.

A conservative option in which small metal wings are bonded to the back of the adjacent teeth. Perfect for front teeth and when the adjacent teeth are in excellent condition.

When the adjacent teeth cannot serve as abutments, or if you prefer not to file them down, dental implants can support the fixed bridge.

Your fixed bridge in a few simple steps:

First visit – Consultation and assessment (60 min)
During your consultation at our Sainte-Julie clinic, we examine your mouth, discuss your expectations, and determine whether a fixed bridge is the best solution for you.

Second visit – Preparation and impressions (90 min)
We prepare the abutment teeth, take precise impressions of your mouth, and place a temporary bridge while your permanent bridge is being made.

Third visit – Final installation (60 min)
Your custom fixed bridge is tried in, adjusted for perfect comfort, and then permanently cemented. We show you how to care for it.

Follow-up
We make sure everything works perfectly and make adjustments if needed.

  • A complete scaling to prevent gum disease
  • Checking the condition of the bridge and making adjustments as needed

Habits to avoid

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. You may feel slight sensitivity for a few days, easily controlled with over-the-counter painkillers.

The complete process generally takes 2 to 3 weeks and requires 2 to 3 appointments. You will wear a temporary bridge in the meantime.

Absolutely! Once installed, your fixed bridge works like your natural teeth. You will be able to eat all your favourite foods.

A fixed bridge relies on your natural teeth, whereas an implant replaces the root of the tooth. A fixed bridge is less invasive and faster, but an implant better preserves the jawbone.

Most dental insurance plans cover 50% to 80% of the cost of a fixed bridge. We help you with the claims.

With proper care, a fixed bridge generally lasts between 10 and 15 years, sometimes longer.

Yes! A fixed bridge can replace one to four consecutive teeth, depending on your situation.

If an abutment tooth develops a problem, it can be treated. In some cases, the bridge will need to be replaced.
