What is a Dental Bridge?
Types of Dental Bridges
Traditional/Fixed Dental Bridge
This type of dental bridge uses dental crowns on both sides of the gap to anchor the pontic (false tooth) in place. The traditional dental bridge is a popular option for people who have healthy teeth on either side of the gap.
Maryland Dental Bridge
This type of dental bridge uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the backs of adjacent teeth. The Maryland dental bridge is a more conservative option for replacing missing front teeth.
Cantilever Dental Bridge
This type of dental bridge uses dental crowns on only one side of the gap to support the pontic. This type of dental bridge is suitable for replacing missing front teeth.
Implant-Supported Dental Bridge
This type of dental bridge uses dental implants to support the pontic. Implant-supported dental bridges are a good option for people with multiple missing teeth or who do not have healthy teeth on either side of the gap.
Benefits of Dental Bridges
- Restoring Your Smile: Dental bridges can help fill the gaps between your teeth, giving you a more natural-looking smile.
- Improved Speech and Chewing: Missing teeth can affect your ability to speak and chew properly. Dental bridges can help restore these functions.
- Preventing Teeth Shifting: When a tooth is missing, the adjacent teeth may shift into the gap, causing misalignment. Dental bridges can help prevent this from happening.
- Maintaining Facial Shape: Missing teeth can cause your face to look sunken or hollow. Dental bridges can help maintain the shape of your face.
