There are several types of dental bridges, and the most suitable design depends on the location and number of missing teeth, the condition of the supporting teeth, bite forces, aesthetics, and whether dental implants are being used.
The main types include:
Conventional Dental Bridge – uses crowns on natural supporting teeth to hold the replacement tooth or teeth.
Cantilever Dental Bridge – supported from one side rather than both sides and used only in selected situations.
Implant-Supported Dental Bridge – supported by dental implants rather than natural teeth and can replace multiple adjacent missing teeth.
Zirconia Dental Bridge – a metal-free bridge made from zirconia, offering high strength and natural aesthetics.
PFM Dental Bridge – combines a metal framework with tooth-colored porcelain.
Full Metal Dental Bridge – made entirely from dental alloy and may be considered for selected posterior situations where aesthetics are less important.
The best type of dental bridge cannot be determined by material alone. A dentist must evaluate the missing-tooth area, supporting teeth, gums, bite, bone condition, and aesthetic requirements before recommending a design.
At Dr. Bharat Katarmal Dental & Implant Clinic, Jamnagar, bridge options are selected according to individual clinical requirements and may include zirconia, PFM, full metal, and implant-supported bridges.
