Dental Bridge
A dental bridge is a fixed and permanent solution when you are missing one or more teeth. Usually a bridge is made out of two or more teeth in porcelain and this is bonded to an adjacent tooth for anchorage.
There are three different types of
bridges that we can provide:
Maryland bridge
This was first developed at the University of Maryland and is often used to bridge a gap between the front teeth. It consists of a pontic made from porcelain that is fused to a metal framework. This takes the form of two ‘wings’ that appear on each side of the pontic. and are bonded to your natural teeth.
Traditional fixed bridge
Cantilever bridge
This is an option where there is a natural tooth on just one side of the gap. This involves the fixing of a pontic to a porcelain crown, which is fastened to your natural tooth or dental implants. The pontic can be made of ceramic or porcelain fused to metal and cannot be removed by the patient.
