Frequently asked questions about dental bridges

What kinds of dental bridges are available?
- Traditional bridges: These require crowns for the teeth on both sides of the gap, with a false tooth or teeth positioned in between.
- Cantilever bridges: Suitable when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth.
- Maryland bridges (resin-bonded bridges): Consist of a metal or porcelain framework attached to the backs of the neighboring teeth.
- Implant-supported bridges: These are secured using dental implants instead of relying on natural teeth.
Are there any foods I should steer clear of with a dental bridge?
Although most foods are generally safe, it’s advisable to avoid extremely hard, sticky, or chewy foods that could harm or dislodge the bridge. Chewing on the opposite side can also help safeguard your dental bridge.
Can a damaged dental bridge be repaired?
Repairability depends on the extent of the damage. Minor issues, like small chips or loose crowns, can often be fixed, while significant damage might necessitate a full replacement. Consult your dentist if you experience any problems.
