When you have a missing tooth or missing teeth, it can affect you in a number of ways. A porcelain dental bridge can address those changes, including:
These are dental prosthetic appliances used to replace one or more missing teeth. Porcelain bridges are fixed on to the teeth to allow the teeth to function properly. They also help to make the teeth look natural, and your smile looks pleasing without the gaps caused by missing teeth.
Porcelain is a durable and strong material that is used to make bridges. It mimics natural tooth color and can be molded to take the shape of the tooth or teeth it replaces, making it an ideal tooth replacement material.
Traditional dental bridge
A traditional dental bridge consists of a false tooth or teeth being held in place by dental crowns that have been cemented onto each of the abutment teeth. A traditional bridge is the most popular type of dental bridge and can be used when you have natural teeth on both sides of the gap created by your missing tooth.
Cantilever dental bridge
Although similar to a traditional bridge, the pontic in a cantilever dental bridge is held in place by a dental crown that is cemented to only one abutment tooth. For a cantilever bridge, you only need one natural tooth next to the missing tooth gap.
Maryland dental bridge
Similar to a traditional bridge, Maryland dental bridges employ two natural abutment teeth, one on each side of the gap. However, while a traditional bridge uses dental crowns on the abutment teeth, a Maryland bridge uses a framework of either metal or porcelain that is bonded onto the backs of the abutment teeth.
Like a traditional bridge, a Maryland bridge can only be used when you have a natural tooth on each side of the gap caused by the missing tooth or teeth.
Implant-supported dental bridge
As the name implies, implant-supported bridges use dental implants as opposed to crowns or frameworks. Typically, one implant is surgically placed for every missing tooth, and these implants hold the bridge in position. If one implant for each missing tooth isn’t possible, the bridge may have a pontic suspended between two implant-supported crowns.
Considered the strongest and most stable system, an implant-supported bridge commonly requires two surgeries:
It can take a number of months for the procedure to be completely finished.
