Learn about the Types of
Dental Implants
•
Maryland Bridges
 If you are looking for a rather conservative alternative to a
traditional bridge, you may consider going for a Maryland
bridge. The bridge in this case will stay in place with the help of
a pintic that uses a porcelain or metal framework for support.
Your dentist will bond the framework on the back of the teeth
surrounding the missing tooth. There is no need to file your
adjacent teeth when you opt for Maryland bridges. They work
quite effectively, but you need to bear in mind that they are not
as strong as traditional bridges are.
•
Implant-Supported Bridges
 In case you have multiple teeth missing, you can opt for an
implant-supported bridge. What sets these bridges apart from
those traditional bridges is that they are supposed by implants.
Your dentist is likely to use one implant for every missing tooth
and then use these implants to keep a bridge in place. These
types of bridges are usually quite secure and comfortable.
