Introduction
Missing teeth have a significant impact on the
overall health of your smile and your appearance.
A radiant smile is an aesthetic asset that brings
overall confidence and self-esteem to an
individual. Any damage to your tooth hampers your
overall physical appearance and impacts your
personality at large. Your oral function and
appearance can be altered by losing a front
tooth, whether due to injury, decay, or other
dental issues.

Understanding Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are a pivotal element of
restorative dentistry, being a solution for many
individuals, especially those who have lost one
or more front teeth due to decay, injury, or any
other dental issue. They are meticulously crafted
to seamlessly blend with the surrounding natural
teeth, restoring both the functionality and
aesthetic appearance of the patients smile.

Types of Dental Bridges
Implant-Supported Bridges
Traditional Bridges
Cantilever Bridges
Maryland Bridges

Traditional Bridges
these are the most common type of dental bridge
involving crowns (caps) on both ends with a
pontic in between. These are majorly suitable
when a substantial space is created to support a
bridge or natural teeth surround that gap.
Generally, traditionally, bridges are used at a
time when your dentist feels that you have
natural teeth on both sides of the gap.
7
Cantilever Bridges
A cantilever bridge is similar to traditional
bridges but is used only when one adjacent tooth
is available for supporting the crown. At the
time of when your dentist bridges the gap with an
abutment tooth, your artificial tooth extends or
hangs across the gap. These are used when you
have only one natural tooth to support your gap
and have been used in various specific cases.
Their design makes it different from traditional
bridges but is less strong than traditional
bridges.

Maryland Bridges (Resin-Bonded Bridges)
Here, instead of a crown, metal wings are used to
secure a bridge termed the Maryland Bridge. These
are used explicitly in front teeth as they are
not supportive of chewing teeth. In this, metal
wings are attached by the sides of the tooth,
backing your neighboring tooth to hold the bridge
in place. Maryland bridges are used for front
teeth and are considered a conservative option as
they require minimal alteration in the adjacent
teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridges
Implant-supported bridges are similar to
traditional bridges but it is a foundation for
the development of brigade rather than having
natural teeth. Before implantation, your dentist
ensures your implants are fully fused with your
jawbone. This option is undertaken when multiple
consecutive teeth are missing, providing
stability and preventing the need for dental work
on adjacent healthy teeth.
