A teeth bridge is a dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It literally “bridges” the gap created by missing teeth, using the surrounding teeth as anchors for support. Bridges are made from durable, natural-looking materials such as porcelain or ceramic, ensuring that your new teeth blend seamlessly with your smile.

At Sky Dental Care, we design custom bridges that fit comfortably and look natural, so you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence again.

Types of Teeth Bridges

There are several different types of dental bridges, and the right option depends on your oral health and needs:

Traditional Teeth Bridge: The most common type. It uses crowns on the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth for support.
Cantilever Bridge: Used when there’s only one natural tooth available next to the gap.
Maryland Bridge: Uses metal or porcelain wings bonded to the back of the surrounding teeth instead of crowns.
Implant-Supported Bridge: Anchored by dental implants instead of natural teeth. This is a long-lasting and stable option.

Our team at Sky Dental Care will carefully evaluate your smile and recommend the bridge option that best suits your needs.
