Four Common Types of
Dental Bridges
•
Traditional Dental Bridges
 Traditional dental bridges are the most commonly used bridges
used by dentists across the world. These bridges comprise fake
teeth that are crowned and placed between natural teeth on
either side. These bridges can also be used as replacements for
molars and serve the same function as naturally occurring teeth.
•
Cantilever Bridges
 Cantilever bridges are similar to the traditional bridges.
However, they only need the support of one adjacent tooth rather
than two.
•
Maryland Bridges
 Maryland bridges comprise fake teeth or pontic that are held in
their place using a metal or porcelain framework. This
framework, using the support of adjacent teeth, holds the fake
tooth in place.
•
Implant Bridges
 The implant-support bridges are effective for cases where you
have more than one tooth missing. Contrary to the previous three
sorts of bridges, this one does not take the support of crowns or
frameworks. The bridges use the implant for support.
