A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth, called pontics, anchored in place by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth (abutments).
Think of it like a bridge over a river: the crowns act as the sturdy pillars, while the pontics fill the gap, restoring your smile’s function and appearance.

The Port Dental Clinic offers dental bridge options to restore your smile and oral function. Your Calgary dentist can recommend the most suitable type of bridge based on your unique needs and the location of your missing teeth.
Traditional dental bridges are the most common type of bridge. They consist of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by dental crowns (abutments) that are cemented onto your adjacent natural teeth. This creates a strong, stable, natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth.
Ideal For: Replacing one or multiple missing teeth in any area of the mouth.
Maryland bridges offer a more conservative alternative to traditional bridges, as they don’t require crowns on the adjacent teeth. Instead, the pontic (artificial tooth) is bonded to the backs of your natural teeth using a metal or porcelain framework with “wings” that adhere to the tooth structure.
Ideal For: Replacing front teeth or where adjacent teeth are healthy and don’t require crowns.
Cantilever bridges are similar to traditional bridges but have only one supporting tooth (abutment). They are typically used when a missing tooth is located at the end of a row of teeth, where only one adjacent tooth provides support.
Ideal For: Replacing a single missing tooth at the end of a row.
Implant-supported bridges offer the most secure and stable option for replacing multiple missing teeth. Instead of relying on adjacent teeth for support, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. The bridge is then attached to these implants.
Ideal For: Replacing multiple missing teeth in a row or throughout the mouth.
At The Port Dental Clinic, we’ll explain the different dental bridges available in Calgary and help you determine which option best suits your unique needs and goals. Schedule a consultation today to learn more and take the first step towards restoring your beautiful smile.
At The Port Dental clinic, the dental bridge procedure requires multiple dental office visits.
Maintaining healthy gums and surrounding teeth is the best way to ensure that your dental bridge lasts longer.
