Restore broken, cracked, or missing teeth with custom dental crowns and bridges at iSmile Dental in Langley. Crowns cap a damaged tooth to protect and rebuild it. Bridges replace one or more missing teeth using the neighbours as anchors. Both look and function like natural teeth, and modern materials make them more durable and lifelike than ever. Our clinic is at 112-6375 202nd Street, and we’re open six days a week, including Saturdays.
A dental bridge replaces 1–4 missing teeth in a row. The natural teeth on either side of the gap are crowned, and the replacement teeth (“pontics”) are attached between them. A bridge is a fixed, non-removable solution and looks completely natural.
Replacing a missing tooth matters for more than appearance. A gap lets neighbouring teeth drift and tilt, changes how your teeth meet when you bite, and puts extra load on the teeth you have left. A bridge fills the space and restores even chewing.
Alternatives to consider: implants (no need to involve neighbouring teeth, longest-lasting), or partial dentures (most affordable, removable). See our implants vs bridges vs dentures comparison.
As a rule of thumb, a bridge makes the most sense when the teeth beside the gap already have large fillings or would benefit from crowns anyway. If those neighbouring teeth are healthy and untouched, an implant avoids reshaping them. We’ll walk through both options at your consultation.
We’ll recommend the material that fits your needs and budget. For most patients, zirconia balances beauty and strength.
Some same-day crowns are possible with CEREC milling for select cases.
Between visits, chew on the other side, avoid sticky foods that could pull the temporary off, and call us if it loosens. Nervous about treatment? Ask about our sedation options.
10–20+ years with proper care: brush twice daily, floss under bridges with a threader or water flosser, avoid biting hard objects, and don’t skip cleanings. Decay can still happen at the edge of a crown, so daily care matters. If you grind your teeth, a night guard helps protect your restorations.
Crowns: $1,000–$1,500 per tooth depending on material and complexity. Bridges: $2,500–$4,500 for a 3-unit bridge (replacing one tooth between two crowned anchors). Most insurance plans cover crowns and bridges at 50–80% as a major restoration. We’re CDCP-approved and offer direct billing. Learn more on our CDCP page and in our insurance guide.
Patients visit us from Willowbrook, Walnut Grove, Murrayville, Brookswood and Cloverdale. Crowns and bridges are part of our restorative dentistry services at our Langley dental clinic, and Saturday appointments are available.
The procedure is done with local anaesthesia. Mild sensitivity for a few days after is normal as the tooth settles.
Yes — modern all-ceramic and zirconia crowns are colour-matched and shaped to your other teeth.
Rarely. If it does, save it and call us — we can usually re-cement it. A lost crown is one of the issues we see as an emergency.
An implant is usually the longer-lasting solution because it doesn’t involve the neighbouring teeth. A bridge is faster (a few weeks vs. several months) and costs less upfront. We’ll discuss the trade-offs.
Daily flossing under the pontic with a floss threader, super-floss, or a water flosser. We’ll show you the technique at your fitting appointment.
