How does a doctor decide on which type of dental bridge to use?

Doctor's Answer

The various types depend on many factors such as:

  • number of teeth to be replaced
  • condition of adjacent teeth
  • age of patient
  • position of missing tooth

These clinical factors are considered alongside the choice of material for the bridge to arrive at the best option for you. Ultimately replacing missing teeth may be better done with an implant. Your dentist can advise the most suitable restoration.
