Dental Bridges
If you are missing teeth, you can close the gap in your smile using a dental bridge. A dental bridge is a false tooth–often called a pontic–that is held in place by the abutment teeth which are on either side of the gap. Pontics can be made of different materials, such as gold. However, they’re typically made with porcelain which blends in with your natural teeth. A dental bridge is recommended to improve your smile by restoring your ability to eat, chew properly, and speak.

Dental Bridge Types:
Traditional
A traditional dental bridge is made up of a false tooth or teeth that are held in place by dental crowns that are cemented on each of the abutment teeth. A traditional dental bridge is the most popular option as it blends in most naturally with your teeth.
Cantilever
The cantilever dental bridge is similar to a traditional bridge. However, the cantilever bridge only needs one natural tooth next to the missing tooth gap.
Maryland
A Maryland dental bridge uses a framework of porcelain or metal that is bonded onto the backs of the abutment teeth. This type of bridge can only be used when you have a natural tooth on each side of the gap which is caused by the missing tooth or teeth.
Implant-Supported
Implant-supported bridges use dental implants instead of dental crowns or frameworks. Most frequently, one implant is placed surgically for every tooth that is missing, and these implants hold the bridge in its position. This is considered to be the strongest and most stable implant and commonly requires two surgeries.
