Dental bridges are an option to replace a missing tooth. It is also known as a pontic, an artificial tooth that is fused between two porcelain crowns and attached onto adjacent teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of dental bridges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traditional fixed bridges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fixed bridges consist of crowns (types of material used depend on individuals\u2019 needs) that are fused and clung to the adjacent teeth on both sides of the open space. This is the most common type of dental bridges used in dentistry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cantilever bridges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cantilever bridges are used when there are teeth on only one side of the empty space to attach dental bridges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
