These bridges use crowns on both sides of the gap to support the pontic, for maximum stability. They can be made of precious metal, porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-ceramic materials like lithium disilicate or zirconia.
Cantilever bridges are supported by a retainer on one side of the gap (usually the backmost tooth). Less common than traditional bridges due to reduced stability which can compromise the supporting tooth.
Maryland bridges use a wing-like retainer bonded to the back of the supporting tooth to hold the pontic in place. They can be made of porcelain-fused-to-metal, all-ceramic materials (like lithium disilicate or zirconia) or plastic teeth and gums supported by a metal or ceramic framework.
The dentist will talk to you, examine your teeth and take X-rays, measurements or pulp tests.
They will determine if a bridge (or another treatment) is right for you and discuss the different types of bridges.
Pre-treatment may include:
You’ll receive instructions on how to care for your bridge (including a special floss threader) and oral hygiene advice.
With proper care a bridge can last many years or a lifetime.
Two appointments after pre-treatment. First appointment is for tooth preparation and impressions, second appointment is for bridge fitting.
