3 common types of dental bridges

  • Traditional bridges – This type of bridges are normally made up of porcelain or ceramic fused to metal. Traditional bridges are the most popular dental bridges across the world. However, before your dentist can recommend traditional bridges, he or she must find supporting teeth (abutment) that will receive your new teeth and hold them in place.

 

  • Cantilever bridges –This type of procedure is mostly recommended for areas that do not get much pressure during chewing; preferably the front area of your mouth.They might be similar to the traditional bridges but cantilever bridges can be attached with the abutment only present on one side of the missing tooth.

 

  • Resin-bonded bridges – This type of bridges will be the perfect solution for replacing loss of front teeth. What happens is your new (or artificial) teeth are first joined with metal bands before they can be fixed to your real teeth with resin cement. However, these types of bridges are not as strong as traditional bridges.

With that said, if you are missing one or more teeth, it is time to visit your dentist and have that problem fixed fast. As a matter of fact, taking too long to have your missing teeth replaced may make your real teeth strain or even shift from their positions, which might can you more problems in future.
