What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are fixed prostheses used to replace missing teeth. They restore functionality, improve appearance, and prevent teeth on either side of the gap from drifting out of position.
Dental bridges consist of retainer crowns and pontics. Pontics are false teeth used to bridge the gap created by missing teeth.
Dental Bridges in Chandigarh
Retainer crowns are attached to abutment teeth (healthy teeth on both sides of the gap) to support and hold the pontics in place. [1]
What Are the Different Types of Dental Bridges?
There are four different types of dental bridges: [2]
- The most common type of bridge
- Used when there are healthy teeth on either side of the gap
- The replacement tooth is supported by two crowns placed over abutment teeth on either side of the missing tooth.
- Can be fixed or removable
Traditional bridge
- Used when there is no healthy tooth on one side of the missing tooth
- Needs only one crown for support
- The pontic is supported only on one side of the gap by one abutment tooth
Cantilever Bridge
- Also known as resin-bonded bridge
- Similar to traditional bridge and commonly used to replace a front tooth
- Requires two abutment teeth on either side of the missing tooth
- Crowns are not required for anchorage
- A less invasive option that uses a metal or porcelain framework to hold the bridge in place
- The framework is bonded to the backs of the abutment teeth
Maryland Bridge
- Requires an implant for anchorage - instead of crowns or frameworks
- An implant is inserted into the jawbone to support a false tooth
- More invasive than other types
- More secure and stable than others
- The procedure takes 3 - 6 months
Implant Supported Bridge
To choose the type of bridge that’s suitable for you, your dentist will consider the following factors:
- Age
- Bone levels
- The size of the gap
- Number of teeth to replace
- Your preference and budget
- Your oral and overall health condition
- Presence of a healthy, natural tooth on one or either side of the gap
You need a well-trained, experienced dentist and an advanced dental clinic to enhance your smile with a bridge successfully.

Same-Day Bridge
If you qualify for a same-day bridge, a CAD/CAD milling machine will be used to design and create your custom bridge on-site.
The dentist will place your permanent bridge on the same day.
But if you’re not eligible for a same-day bridge, the impressions of the trimmed teeth will be sent to a lab. Fabrication and delivery of the permanent bridge will take a few days.
The dentist will give you a temporary bridge before the permanent bridge arrives. The temporal prosthesis helps to protect your teeth and maintain functionality.

The second appointment usually comes 3 - 4 days after the first one, depending on when the lab delivers the permanent bridge.

- The dentist will remove the temporary bridge.
- The permanent bridge will be attached.

Dental Bridge Procedure
Implant-Supported Dental Bridge Procedure
Getting an implant-supported bridge takes more time because the procedure involves implant surgery. It takes 3 – 6 months to get an implant-supported dental bridge.
Implant surgery and temporary prosthesis will be placed in the first visit. However, permanent prosthesis will be cemented at a later stage; which is after 3 – 6 months of healing period.
How Many Visits to the Dentist for a Bridge?
It takes 1 – 2 visits to the dentist for a bridge. Getting dental bridges in Chandigarh, India, takes 1 – 4 days. The 3-unit bridge procedure requires one visit to Chandigarh and involves 1 – 2 dentist appointments.
Dental Bridges Treatment Duration in Chandigarh, India
| No.of Visits to Chandigarh | Duration of Stay | No. of Appointments | Process |
| Before Visiting Chandigarh | – | – | Video consultation |
| First Visit | 7-10 days | First Appointment | Examination
Tooth preparation CAD CAM crowns & bridges placement (if qualified for a same-day bridge) |
| Second Appointment | If not qualified for a same-day bridge: Permanent bridge cemented at later stage. |
Note: The number of appointments can vary based on case complexity.
How Long After a Tooth Extraction Can I Get a Bridge?
Wait 6 to 12 weeks after a tooth extraction before getting a dental bridge. In the case of an implant-supported bridge, extraction and implant placement can be done simultaneously.
The waiting period allows gum healing and bone regeneration at the extraction site, which makes the site strong enough for a bridge placement.
However, how long it takes to heal depends on your oral health situation.
How Many Teeth Can Go on One Bridge?
A dental bridge can support from 1 – 3 teeth. In some cases, it can support up to 4 – 6 teeth. However, the higher the number of teeth, the less stable the bridge system becomes.
Additional support is required to replace more than 3 teeth with a bridge. Therefore, a long-span dental bridge is not usually recommended because of stability issues.

Is a Root Canal Necessary for a Dental Bridge?
Generally, RCT is not required. But, if the teeth adjacent to the missing space are decayed, then depending on the extent of decay, a root canal may be required.
Also, in some patients, food lodgement or poor hygiene can lead to decay after bridge is placed, warranting RCT.
What Is the Alternative to a Dental Bridge?
The alternatives to a dental bridge are implants, partial dentures, overdentures, and orthodontic treatments. [4] What is better, an implant or a bridge? Read on to find out!
Dental Implants
Implants are inserted into the jawbone or skull to replace missing teeth, serving as an anchor for a dental prosthesis like a crown and bridge.
Partial Dentures
Removable dentures are used to replace multiple missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
Overdentures
Removable dental prostheses supported by roots of existing teeth or dental implants, making them more stable than traditional dentures.
Orthodontic Treatments
Orthodontic treatments help to properly align teeth, which can sometimes be helpful in closing gaps created by missing teeth.
Bridges vs implants vs Dentures
| Implants | Bridges | Dentures |
| More stable | Less stable than implants | Less stable than bridges |
| Last longer than bridges and dentures | Last longer than dentures | Don’t last as long as bridges |
| Higher upfront cost | Lower upfront cost | Least upfront cost |
| Invasive procedure | Not as invasive as implants | Least invasive option |
| Takes more time | Faster than implant procedure | Least time consuming |
| Less likely to be covered by insurance | Likely to be covered by insurance | More likely to be covered by insurance |

Who Is a Candidate?
| Good Candidate for a Bridge | Not a Good Candidate |
| One or more missing teeth | Poor oral health |
| Healthy teeth surrounding the gap | Dental conditions like a root canal |
| Sufficient bone density for implant-supported bridge | No healthy teeth surrounding the gap |
| Good oral health | Medical conditions that can cause bridge failure |
| Absence of health conditions that cause bridge failure | Inability to follow aftercare instructions |
| Willingness to follow post-procedure instructions | Lack the motivation or manual dexterity to maintain hygiene |

FAQs
A bridge often costs less upfront than a root canal, but a root canal allows you to keep your natural tooth, which can be beneficial in the long term.
A root canal, while initially more expensive, can save you from future dental issues and more complex treatments.
Long-term costs depend on factors like:
- Case complexity
- Oral health status
- Treatment needs
- Insurance coverage
The traditional dental bridge is the best option compared to other types due to the support provided by abutment teeth on either side of the pontic.
It offers excellent strength and stability while being less invasive and time-consuming than an implant-supported bridge.
Bridge teeth can last over 6 years. [10] How long your bridge lasts depends on placement efficiency, case complexity, and hygiene maintenance.
If you take good care of your bridge, it’s expected to last long enough.
A dental bridge is considered a permanent restoration because it requires irreversible tooth preparation and can only be removed by a dentist.
However, despite being termed "permanent," a dental bridge typically needs replacement after about 10 to 15 years.
