Each treatment has its own advantages and disadvantages, for today I’m going to talk about the pros cons dental bridges in particular.
Dental bridges
When you think about dental bridges and why they are called bridges, they literally bridge a gap that has formed in the gums when a tooth was extracted or fell out.
Dental bridges are made up from one to four pontics otherwise called replacement teeth, dental bridges are kept in position by an abutment.
At Perfect Smile Dental Clinic in Hungary we offer four types of dental bridges, there are pros and cons to each one.
A traditional bridge will have two abutments or supports that are attached to the adjacent teeth with one to four pontics in the middle joining them.
With traditional bridges we use dental crowns as a support or we can use an abutment.
The second choice are Maryland bridges, they differ to traditional bridges because the framework consists of metal or porcelain making this treatment more affordable.
However, Maryland bridges may not be as strong as traditional bridges but they do protect the structure of the teeth that are adjacent.
There are pros and cons to each dental bridges treatment.
The third option is a Cantilever bridge, we can use this treatment if a third molar is missing, or for some reason one of the adjacent teeth cannot be used for support.
Cantilever bridges are really a last resort, we only use these bridges in the event that nothing else works, one of the cons is they put a lot if stress on the supporting teeth.
The fourth option is implant supported bridges, they work in much the same way as traditional bridges.
Implant supported bridges are similar to the traditional bridge, the difference being that the support from implants is stronger.
Dental bridges pros
When the options to replace missing teeth are explained to patients the pros often outweigh the cons and bridges are chosen.
In the main dental bridges are definitely less expensive compared to full mouth dental implants.
For example, one single dental implant that includes the abutment and the crown treatment could cost as much as €1,500-€2,500 in certain dental clinics.
Compare that to the cost of dental bridges in Irish dental clinics where prices for one replacement tooth bridge start at €600-€1100.

Dental bridges cons
We have gone through the dental bridges pros, now it’s time to look in more detail at the cons, and what are the alternatives.?
In terms of longevity and lifespan dental bridges are not a permanent treatment when compared to dental implants.
Implants will last forever, the same can not be said about bridges, one of the cons is that bone loss will continue.
If bone loss were to continue, over time facial loss could occur and the bite could be weaker.
Bridges don’t replace the root of the missing tooth wheras implants do, by replacing the root further bone loss is prevented or reversed.
Another con of dental bridges is their instability, they aren’t as permanent a fixture as implants and may need more visits to the clinic.
The surrounding teeths structures may be compromised where crowns are used as support.
