A dental bridge is a common and effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. If you’ve ever wondered “What is a dental bridge?” — the answer is simple: it’s a custom-made restoration that literally “bridges” the gap created by missing teeth.
A dental bridge not only restores your smile, but also supports chewing, improves speech, and prevents shifting of the surrounding teeth — which helps maintain your facial shape and bite alignment.
A dental bridge typically consists of:
The result is a stable, fixed replacement that does not come out, unlike removable dentures
Type | How It Works | Best For |
Traditional Dental Bridge | Crowns on both sides of the gap hold the artificial tooth. | Most common solution when both neighboring teeth are healthy enough. |
Cantilever Bridge | Attached on only one side of the gap. | Areas with less bite pressure, such as front teeth. |
Maryland Bonded Bridge | Uses a metal or ceramic backing “wing” bonded to the back of neighboring teeth. | Conservative option when minimal tooth preparation is needed. |
Implant-Supported Bridge | Supported by dental implants instead of natural teeth. | Best for multiple missing teeth or when neighboring teeth are not strong enough. |
