Learn About Types of Dental Bridges

Bridges are custom-made dentures for patients without teeth or teeth, which give them a natural-looking smile. The tooth bridge is anchored to the adjacent tooth from the missing tooth. There are different types of dental bridges and bridges made of different materials. 

The type of bridge the patient needs depends on the location of the missing tooth. When a person chooses a dental bridge, the cosmetic dentist will provide a temporary bridge while a special permanent bridge is being created. You can get the best dental bridges by clicking at-

Types of dental bridges:- 

Dental bridges are made of a variety of materials, including porcelain and metal, and stronger materials such as zirconium and aluminum. A cosmetic dentist will discuss the best materials to use to fill the voids in the missing tooth. Currently there are three commonly used dental bridges that patients and specialists can choose from:

Fixed Bridge – Fixed bridges fill the gaps by connecting the denture between two crowns of the tooth. Crowns are used to support the bridge and are attached to the teeth adjacent to the gap so that the denture looks and feels natural in the empty space. The bridge remains immovable.

Cantilever Bridge – Cantilever bridges are also placed by connecting them to adjacent teeth, similar to fixed bridges. However, the cantilever bridge is connected to only one tooth. It is mainly used when there are no teeth on either side of the gap.
