  • No More Missing Teeth With Dental Bridges
Modified by CombineZP

Newmarket dental bridges are types of dental restoration that fill the gap between missing teeth. The natural teeth on either side of the gap will be reduced in size. It is to make way for the dental crowns on top of them. They will serve as the bridge’s anchor, holding the dental bridges in place. These anchoring teeth, also called “abutment teeth,” have “pontic” or teeth replacement between them.

Our dentist in Newmarket administers this procedure in two dental visits.

3 types of Newmarket dental bridges

Traditional bridges

It is the most common type of bridge made from porcelain fused with metal or ceramic. This kind of bridge has a pontic between two dental crowns or implants. The dentist uses traditional Newmarket dental bridges when you have natural teeth on both sides of the missing tooth.

Cantilever bridges

The dentist recommends a Cantilever bridge when no teeth are on one side of the missing teeth. Only one abutment supports the pontic instead of two. However, there are better choices for missing teeth in the back. It causes an added force on the other teeth, which leads to damage.

Maryland bonded bridges

A metal or porcelain framework holds the pontic in place. Our dentist in Newmarket bonds the framework to the back of the two natural teeth next to the missing teeth. This type of bridge is also called a resin-bonded bridge or Maryland bridge.

Having Newmarket dental bridges

Getting a bridge takes several trips to the dentist. The first appointment involves taking a dental impression of your teeth to be sent to the dental lab. You will receive a temporary one until you receive your Newmarket dental bridges on the next visit.

On your second appointment, the dentist will remove the temporary bridge and install the permanent one. He will ensure that it fits you comfortably and is permanently fixed.
