Are there different types of Dental Bridges?

There are 3 different types of Dental Bridges:

• Traditional bridges are the most common type of bridge and are typically made of either ceramics, metal or porcelain. It involves creating a crown for your tooth or dental implant on either side of the missing tooth.


• Cantilever bridges are used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth. It is also mainly used in areas that are under much less stress, such as your front teeth.


• Maryland bonded bridges or Resin-Bonded Bridges are less expensive, and are made of plastic teeth and gums supported by a metal framework.
