Dental Bridges Calgary

A Dental Bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace the gap caused by one or more missing teeth. Expressions Dental Clinic in Calgary offers dental bridge services to replace your missing teeth and improve the appearance and function of your mouth.

A missing tooth or teeth can be replaced with a dental bridge to restore the proper form and function of your teeth; the way you speak, eat and smile etc. Spaces between the teeth can lead to movements in other teeth which may create imbalances and a bad bite.
