A dental bridge can restore your smile and help you to eat and chew normally after the loss of a tooth.
If you have missing teeth, your dentist can close – or bridge – the gaps in your teeth with a dental bridge. This is essentially a false tooth that is held in place by the abutment teeth on either side of the gap. Dental bridges are most commonly made from porcelain to blend in with the natural colour of the teeth.
This consists of a false tooth being held in place by dental crowns that have been cemented onto each of the abutment teeth. This type of bridge is the most popular and can be used when you have natural teeth on each side of the missing tooth.
while a traditional bridge uses dental crowns on the abutment teeth, a Maryland bridge utilises a metal framework which is then attached to the backs of the abutment teeth, like wings. This type of bridge can also only be used when there is a natural tooth on either side of the missing tooth.
