Types of dental bridges
The right option depends on the location of the gap, the health of adjacent teeth, your bite, and your long term goals.
Traditional bridge
Anchored to crowns on the teeth beside the gap. A strong, common solution when adjacent teeth are suitable for support.
- Reliable for many cases
- Great stability
- Custom aesthetic match
Cantilever bridge
Supported on one side only. Used selectively in specific situations where bite forces allow it.
- Case dependent option
- Requires careful bite evaluation
- Great for select areas
Maryland bridge
A conservative option that uses bonded wings on adjacent teeth. Best for certain front tooth cases.
- More conservative preparation
- Ideal for select aesthetics
- Not for heavy bite zones
Implant supported bridge
Supported by implants instead of natural teeth. A premium option that can protect adjacent teeth and provide excellent stability.
- High stability and comfort
- Does not rely on neighbouring teeth
- Excellent long term planning

How long do bridges last
Lifespan varies by material, bite forces, and hygiene. With professional care and good cleaning habits, bridges can last for many years.
Caring for your dental bridge
Bridges look and feel natural, but they need the right cleaning routine to protect the gum line and supporting teeth.
1
Brush gently twice daily
Use a soft brush and focus on the gum line around the bridge margins.
2
Clean under the bridge
Floss threaders or interdental brushes help remove plaque where a normal floss may not reach.
3
Protect your bite
If you clench or grind, a night guard may protect the bridge and supporting teeth.
4
Maintain regular checkups
Professional cleanings help keep the bridge area healthy and extend longevity.
Dental bridge FAQ
Quick answers to common questions about bridges, comfort, materials, and timelines.
Does a dental bridge look natural
Yes. A well made bridge is shade matched and shaped to blend with your natural teeth. We focus on contours, translucency, and bite harmony for a refined look.
Is the procedure painful
Most patients feel comfortable during treatment with modern anesthesia. Mild tenderness afterward can happen, and we provide clear aftercare guidance.
How many visits are needed
Many bridges are completed in two main visits: planning and preparation, then final fitting. Timelines can vary depending on complexity and lab turnaround.
Bridge vs implant, which is better
It depends on your goals and the health of neighbouring teeth and bone. Implants can be a premium solution that does not rely on adjacent teeth, while bridges can be faster and excellent in the right case.
How do I clean under a bridge
Floss threaders, interdental brushes, or water flossers can help clean under the pontic area. We can show you the best method for your bridge design.
How much does a dental bridge cost
Cost depends on the number of missing teeth, material, bridge type, and whether additional work is needed. After an exam, we provide a clear plan and estimate.
