Types of Dental Bridges
Conventional Dental Bridges
Artificial teeth supported by crowns on adjacent teeth. Durable and ideal if supporting teeth already need crowns. However, they’re more invasive—reshaping teeth can increase the risk of future root canal treatment (up to 15-20% within 10 years, per J Prosthet Dent 2012). Discuss other options at your appointment.
Resin-Retained Bridges (Maryland Bridges)
A conservative choice with metal or ceramic wings bonded to adjacent teeth. No crowns needed, so no risk of root canal issues from tooth prep.
Caring for Your Bridge

Brush and floss daily, especially under the bridge.
Avoid hard foods to extend its life.
Regular check-ups keep it in top shape.
Conventional bridges may suit teeth needing crowns but can be destructive, risking future root canal treatment. Resin-retained bridges avoid this issue, offering a gentler alternative.
