Modern dentistry offers several types of dental bridges, which can be made of durable porcelain, gold, or composite materials. Traditional bridges involve creating a crown for the tooth or implant on either side of the missing tooth, with a pontic in between. Traditional bridges are the most common type of bridge and are made of either porcelain fused to metal or ceramics.Cantilever bridges A cantilever bridge is mostly used for the front teeth as they are susceptible to lower stress. Cantilever bridges are used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth.Maryland bonded bridges(also called a resin-bonded bridge or a Maryland bridge) are made of plastic teeth and gums supported by a metal framework. Metal wings on each side of the bridge are bonded to the adjacent teeth.
There are basically 3 types of dental bridges, those traditional bridges, cantilever bridges and Maryland bonded bridges.
Dental bridges are recommended when there are one or more teeth missing that affect you’re:- Smile and appearance Bite, as a result of adjacent teeth leaning into the space and altering the way the upper and lower teeth bite together Speech Shape of your face Gum disease and tooth decay, as a result of food accumulated in the gap
If you have missing teeth and have good oral hygiene practices, you should discuss this procedure with Dr. Shabbir U.K. If spaces are left unfilled, they may cause the surrounding teeth to drift out of position. Areas such as this can collect food and plaque easily which can lead to decay or gum disease. Teeth opposite the space can also drift into the space created by the missing tooth (over-eruption) causing more problems.

When a single tooth is lost, other teeth may shift or move. A dental bridge helps to support the teeth around where your tooth was lost. Leaving the space may allow teeth to drift into the space, changing your bite. This may result in a sore jaw, gum disease or tooth decay due to difficulty cleaning the teeth. Benefits of Dental Bridges:Restore your smile Restore your ability to properly chew and speak Maintain the shape of your face Distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
Dental bridges, regardless of type, will generally require two visits. In your first appointment, the dentist will prepare the adjacent teeth surrounding the gap, then take a mold/impression and place a temporary cosmetic bridge. The mold is used as a guide for the crafting of your cosmetic dental bridge. On your next appointment, the dentist will bond your dental bridge into place with dental adhesive cement.
Dental bridges can last 10-15 years provided you maintain good dental hygiene and eating habits. If you exercise proper dental hygiene and visit your dentist for regular checkups, your cosmetic bridge can last for many years.
Replacing missing teeth should actually make eating easier. Until you become accustomed to the bridge, eat soft foods that have been cut into small pieces.
It can be difficult to speak clearly when teeth are missing in the front areas. Wearing a dental bridge with the anterior teeth in their proper relationship will help you speak properly.
It is important to keep your remaining teeth healthy and strong as the success of the bridge depends on the solid foundation offered by the surrounding teeth. Brushing twice a day and flossing daily helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Your dentist or dental hygienist can demonstrate how to properly brush and floss your teeth. Keeping a regular cleaning schedule will help diagnose problems at an early stage when treatment has a better prognosis. Selecting a balanced diet for proper nutrition is also important.
