there are three main types of dental bridges: traditional bridges involve creating a crown for the tooth or implant on either side of the missing tooth with a pontic in between. traditional bridges are the most common type of bridge and are made of either porcelain fused to metal or ceramics. cantilever bridges are used when there are adjacent teeth on only one side of the missing tooth or teeth. maryland bonded bridges (also called a resin-bonded bridge or a maryland bridge) are made of plastic teeth and gums supported by a metal framework. metal wings on each side of the bridge are bonded to your existing teeth.
