Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
When faced with the need to replace one or more missing teeth, consider dental bridges. With their resilience, longevity, and strikingly authentic look, they effectively restore both the function and aesthetics of your smile.
So, what exactly are dental bridges? In essence, they are false teeth anchored to your existing teeth on either side of the gap. These anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth. There are a few different types of dental bridges available, each with their advantages:
- Traditional bridge dental: Porcelain fused to metal bridges, known for their incredible strength, dominate the landscape as the most common bridge type.
- Cantilever bridge dental: These bridges are utilised when there’s only a gap on one side of the teeth. While they can be considered in specific scenarios, they don’t match the durability and stability of traditional bridges.
- Maryland Bridge Dental: These bridges serve as an excellent option for front tooth replacement. With their metal framework, they form a strong bond with the abutment teeth, providing a more discreet alternative to traditional bridges.
