There are three main types of bridges in the market. Some of them are:

• Cantilever Bridge – Designed with abutment tooth (crown) on only one side of the false tooth (pontic). It is not recommended for back of the mouth where it can place too much pressure on other teeth and damage them.
• Fixed Bridge – This is a traditional bridge that has at least one pontic and crowns placed on either side of it.  These are the most popular and are strong enough to replace molars.
• Adhesive Bridge – This type of bridge has a pontic that is held in place with a metal or porcelain wing. There can be either a single wing on the bridge or two wings attached on each side.
