Dental Bridge
Missing a tooth or several teeth? You’re not alone. Many Malaysians experience tooth loss due to decay, injury, or age. One of the most effective ways to restore your smile and chewing ability is through a dental bridge.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about dental bridges — how they work, the types available, the cost in Malaysia, and whether they’re the right choice for you.
✅ What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a prosthetic device used to replace one or more missing teeth. It “bridges” the gap by anchoring onto the natural teeth or implants next to the missing tooth.
Benefits of a dental bridge:
Restores your smile
Improves chewing and speaking
Prevents surrounding teeth from shifting
Maintains the shape of your face
🏷️ Types of Dental Bridges
There are four main types of dental bridges available in Malaysia:
1. Traditional Bridge
Most common
Uses crowns on both sides of the gap
Requires healthy adjacent teeth
2. Cantilever Bridge
Anchored to only one adjacent tooth
Used when teeth are missing at the back of the mouth
3. Maryland Bridge
Uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded to the back of nearby teeth
Less invasive but not as strong
4. Implant-Supported Bridge
Attached to dental implants rather than natural teeth
Strongest and most durable option
Each type has its pros and cons — and the best option depends on your dental health, location of the missing tooth, and budget.
🦷 Dental Bridge Procedure – What to Expect
Initial consultation and dental examination
Preparation of abutment teeth (shaping the nearby teeth)
Impression taking for your custom-made bridge
Temporary bridge (if needed)
Final bridge fitting and cementing
The process may take 2–3 visits over a few weeks, depending on your case.
💬 Dental Bridge vs Dental Implant – Which Is Better?
| Feature | Dental Bridge | Dental Implant |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Lower upfront | Higher upfront |
| Durability | 5–15 years | 15–25 years |
| Surgery needed? | No | Yes |
| Bone support | No | Yes |
| Procedure time | Shorter | Longer |
If you’re unsure which to choose, a dental consultation is the best way to determine what’s right for you.
