What are the different dental bridge types?
There are several types of dental bridges available, and the right option depends on your individual needs:
Traditional Dental Bridge
The most common type. A false tooth is anchored to crowns placed on the teeth either side of the gap. Strong, durable, and ideal for single or multiple missing teeth.
Cantilever Bridge
Used when there is only one neighbouring tooth next to the gap. Suitable in specific cases where a traditional bridge isn’t possible.
Maryland (Resin-Bonded) Bridge
A more conservative option that uses a metal or ceramic “wing” bonded behind neighbouring teeth. Often used for front teeth.
Implant-Supported Bridge
Used when multiple teeth are missing. Implants support the bridge instead of natural teeth, offering maximum strength and stability.
Your dentist will guide you through the options to ensure the chosen bridge suits your smile, bite, and long-term dental health.
