Dental bridges are a good option for people who are missing one or two teeth and are also a good option for people who are not good candidates for dental implants.
If you are considering a dental bridge, it is important to talk to our dentist about the best option for you. They can help you determine the type of bridge that is right for you and also discuss the dental bridge cost.

A traditional dental bridge is the most common type. Traditional bridges are made up of two or more crowns and a false tooth, also known as a pontic (supporting teeth). The crowns are cemented to the teeth on either side of the gap, and the pontic spans the gap. Traditional fixed bridges are made of metal, porcelain fused to metal (PFM), or ceramics.
A cantilever bridge is a type of dental bridge that is supported by a single crown on one side of the gap. It is less commonly used than a traditional fixed bridge because it can put more stress on the abutment tooth. Cantilever bridges are typically only used when there is not enough space for a traditional fixed bridge.
It is supported by a dental implant. Dental implants are titanium screws that are placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Implant-supported bridges are stronger and easier to clean and are more likely to last for many years.
Every patient is unique. Depending on individual cases, the dentist may suggest a bridge, denture, or an implant to replace missing teeth.
Here is a table that summarizes the pros and cons of each option:
Option | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|
Dental bridge | * Fixed restoration * Can be made to look natural * Can improve chewing ability | * Requires modification of healthy teeth |
Dental implant | * Permanent solution * Can improve chewing ability * Can look natural | * Requires surgery |
Denture | * Removable * Can be cheaper than other options | * Not as permanent as other options * Can be difficult to clean * Can slip or become dislodged |
Ultimately, the best way to decide which option is right for you is to talk to your dentist. They can help you assess your individual needs and preferences and recommend the best solution for you.
