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.

Pros and Cons of Dental Bridges

Pros of Dental Bridges:

  • Restore your smile, very natural in appearance.
  • Restore your ability to properly chew and speak.
  • Distribute your bite properly by replacing missing teeth.
  • Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
  • Can last 5-7 years and sometimes longer. If you practice good oral hygiene, it is usual that you will see a longer life span of your fixed bridge.
  • Only requires 2 visits to your cosmetic dentist.

Cons of Dental Bridges:

  • Teeth are typically sensitive to very hot or very cold temperatures for about one month after the procedure.
  • If you do not practice good oral hygiene, you can gather bacteria and have both teeth and gums infection.

What are Metal-Free Crowns & Bridges?

Sometimes a beautiful smile takes work that is a bit more involved. If you notice strain when biting down, pain during chewing, or difficulty in speaking due to misaligned or missing teeth, bridges might be the right option for you. They work by literally bridging the gaps between missing teeth, closing spaces with durable, injury-resistant, realistic-looking artificial teeth. Because they are semi-permanent, bridges can be removed only by a dentist but are long-lasting and strong.

Information on Dental Bridges

A dental bridge is a false tooth, which is fused between two crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. These fake teeth can be made of alloys, gold, silver, porcelain or a mixture of all of the above. Dental bridges are supported by your natural teeth or can also be supported by dental implants.

Whether you are looking for a permanent or temporary solution to fill in that empty gap, there is a dental bridge ideally suited for your needs. Three of which are:
  • 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.
