Bridges

 

A conventional bridge is used to replace missing teeth and consist of two or more units of porcelain linked together.

The materials used range from porcelain fused to metal to the more expensive zirconite porcelain.

 

Another type of bridge is the Maryland bridge which consists of a porcelain fused to metal crown attached to the natural teeth adjacent to the missing tooth by a metal wing which is bonded to the enamel.
