Traditional Bridges- Arguably the most common type of dental bridges, traditional bridges are made up of a ceramic or porcelain material that is joined to a metal. The dental surgeon normally uses two abutments to receive the artificial teeth or tooth.
Cantilever Bridges- These types are used for areas that do not require much work. An example is the frontal teeth. Although they look more like traditional bridges, they are attached to one side of the mouth.
Resin Bonded Bridges – This type of bridges are not as strong as the common traditional bridges. They are mainly used to replace the loss of teeth which occurs at the front of the mouth. In this method, the artificial teeth are first bonded with metal which is later fastened to the abutment teeth with the aid of a resin cement.
