Adhesive bridge

What is an adhesive bridge?

An adhesive bridge is a bridge which consists of a dummy tooth attached to a titanium wing. This wing glues onto the adjacent tooth.An adhesive bridge can involve no preparation whatsoever or very minimal preparation only within the enamel itself.

What are the advantages over traditional crown-retained bridges?

Only minimal preparation of the adjacent tooth is required. This is much healthier for the supporting tooth than removing a large amount of enamel and dentine in order to make a retaining crown. Adhesive bridges are also much less expensive than crown retained bridges.

How long will the bridge last?

On average the bridge will last around eight years. It will typically need re-cementing once during this period.
