What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or implants.
How many types of dental bridges are there?
There are four main types:
- Traditional bridge – uses crowns on adjacent teeth.
- Cantilever bridge – anchored to one tooth only.
- Maryland bridge – uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of adjacent teeth.
- Implant-supported bridge – supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth.
How long does a dental bridge last?
With proper care, a dental bridge can last 5–15 years or more.
Is the dental bridge procedure painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort. Local anaesthesia is used during the procedure, and some soreness afterward is normal.
How do I care for a dental bridge?
- Brush twice daily
- Floss underneath the bridge
- Use a water flosser or special dental floss
- Visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and exams
Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?
Yes, after a short adjustment period, most people eat normally. Avoid very hard or sticky foods to prolong the bridge’s lifespan.
Is a bridge better than a dental implant?
It depends. Implants are more durable and preserve jawbone health, but bridges are less invasive and often less expensive. Our dentist can help you choose based on your situation.
Can a dental bridge be replaced?
Yes, when it wears out or if there’s damage or decay underneath, it can be replaced.
Are there risks or complications?
Potential issues include:
- Sensitivity
- Gum irritation
- Decay in supporting teeth
- Bridge becoming loose or falling off (rare if well maintained)
