Minimal Preparation
An adhesive dental bridge is glued onto the adjacent tooth to hold the false tooth in place. They require minimal preparation of the adjacent tooth, making it a healthier option for the supporting tooth than removing significant amounts of enamel for a retaining crown.
Additionally, adhesive bridges are generally more affordable than crown-retained bridges.
Advantages of Adhesive Bridges
- Minimally invasive – preserves natural tooth structure.
- Comfortable and quick – fewer appointments than implants.
- Aesthetically pleasing, especially with ceramic wings, it blends well.
- Cheaper than implants or traditional bridges.
- Can act as a temporary or semi-permanent solution.
Affordable Option
An adhesive bridge is a tooth replacement option that’s conservative, aesthetic, and affordable, but not as strong or long-lasting as full crowns.
They are unsuitable for situations where many teeth need to be replaced. Furthermore, adhesive bridges have a shorter lifespan than crown-retained bridges.
