What Are Dental Braces ?
Unlike dentures which are removable, a dental bridge is a fixed restoration that stays cemented in your mouth. You care for it just like your natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing.
Why Replace Missing Teeth?
Missing Teeth can cause several problems if left untreated:
- Surrounding teeth shift into the empty space
- Difficulty chewing and speaking properly
- Changes to your bite alignment
- Changes to your bite alignment
- Bone loss in the jaw
- Altered facial appearance
- Increased risk of decay and gum disease in remaining teeth
A dental bridge helps prevent these issues while restoring function and aesthetics to your smile.
Types of Dental Bridges
Traditional Bridges
Traditional bridges are the most common type of bridge. They consist of a pontic (false tooth) held in place by dental crowns cemented onto the natural teeth on either side of the gap.
Best For:
- One or more missing teeth with healthy teeth on both sides
- Back teeth (molars and premolars)
- Patients who want a durable, long-lasting solution
Process:
The anchor teeth are prepared by removing some enamel to accommodate the crowns. Impressions are taken and sent to the dental lab. A temporary bridge protects your prepared teeth while your permanent bridge is fabricated.
Cantilever Bridges
Cantilever bridges are used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth. The pontic is anchored to one or more teeth on just one side.
Best For:
- Missing teeth with healthy teeth on only one side
- Front teeth where chewing forces are lighter
- Situations where a traditional bridge isn’t possible
Considerations:
Cantilever bridges place more stress on the anchor tooth, so they’re typically used for front teeth rather than molars where chewing and grinding forces are higher.
Maryland Bridges (Resin-Bonded Bridges)
A Maryland bridge uses metal or porcelain wings on each side of the pontic that bond to the back of existing teeth. This type requires minimal preparation of the adjacent teeth.
Best For:
- Front teeth replacement
- Patients who want to preserve natural tooth structure
- Younger patients whose teeth are still developing
Considerations:
Maryland bridges are not as strong as traditional bridges and may not be suitable for back teeth or areas with high bite pressure.
Implant-Supported Bridges
When multiple teeth are missing in a row, dental implants can be used to support a bridge instead of natural teeth. This eliminates the need to prepare healthy teeth as anchors.
Best For:
- Three or more missing teeth in a row
- Patients who want to preserve their natural teeth
- Those seeking maximum stability and longevity
Process:
Dental implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. After healing (3-6 months), a bridge is attached to the implants. This option requires adequate bone density.

Consultation & Tooth Preparation
Your dentist examines your teeth and gums, takes X-rays, and discusses your options. If you’re a candidate for a bridge, the anchor teeth are prepared by removing a thin layer of enamel to accommodate the crowns. Impressions of your prepared teeth are taken and sent to our dental lab. A temporary bridge is placed to protect your teeth.Bridge Fitting & Adjustments
Once your permanent bridge is ready (usually 5-7 days), you return to have it fitted. Your dentist checks the fit, color, and bite alignment. Adjustments are made as needed to ensure comfort and proper function.Final Cementation (if needed)
In some cases, you may wear the bridge temporarily to test it before final cementation. Once everything is perfect, the bridge is permanently cemented in place. Your dentist checks your bite one final time and provides care instructions.Dental Bridge vs Other Missing Teeth Replacement Options
