Dental Bridges

Dental bridges are commonly used for the replacement of missing teeth. If you are considering getting a dental bridge, you need to be armed with solid information so that you can make an informed decision about your dental care. You have quite a few types to choose from, and your dentist can help you make that decision during your initial consultation.

Five of the most common types of dental bridges are:

  • Traditional bridges
  • Cantilever bridges
  • Composite bridges
  • Maryland bridges
  • Implant-supported bridges

The traditional bridge is the most popular type used for the restoration of lost teeth. It makes a good choice when you already have some natural teeth, or dental implants, on each side of the space left by the missing teeth.

Traditional bridges tend to be lightweight and somewhat small, providing solid chewing comfort through the redistribution of biting force.

If you are maintaining proper oral hygiene at home, this type of bridge can serve you for a long time.

The only real drawback of traditional bridges is that they require some removal of tooth enamel to make space for the dental crowns.

This type of bridge is becoming increasingly popular. One reason may be that it does not involve any damage to adjoining natural teeth. No unusual maneuvers are necessary because these bridges are supported exclusively by dental implants that are firmly placed within the jaw. Implant-supported bridges are known for being incredibly stable.
