Dental Bridges
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth (pontic) between natural teeth or dental implants. Unlike removable dentures, a bridge is cemented in place, offering a stable and natural feel.
Types of Dental Bridges:
- Traditional Bridges – Anchored using crowns on adjacent teeth.
- Cantilever Bridges – Used when only one natural tooth is next to the gap.
- Maryland Bridges – A conservative option using a metal or porcelain framework bonded to adjacent teeth.
- Implant-Supported Bridges – Secured with dental implants instead of natural teeth.

- Prevents Teeth Shifting – Keeps surrounding teeth in proper alignment.
- Non-Surgical Option – Unlike implants, most bridges do not require surgery.
- Quick & Effective – Can be completed in just two visits.
- Long-Lasting – With proper care, dental bridges can last 10-15 years or longer.
