Cantilever Dental Bridge (Fill The Gap With A Simple Solution)

· Those in Bangkok looking to replace a tooth using one supporting tooth.
· Those who want to avoid surgery or implants.
· Those who want to achieve a healthy tooth on only one side of the gap.
· Those who wish to get a quick, fixed dental solution.
· Those who wish to replace a tooth in low-pressure area.

Cantilever Dental Bridge is a type of fixed dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth when only one adjacent tooth is available for support. Unlike traditional bridges that are anchored on both sides, Cantilever Dental Bridge is bonded to just one supporting tooth next to the gap. It is most commonly used in areas of the mouth that experience less bite force, such as the front teeth.

Cantilever Dental Bridge works by attaching a pontic (false tooth) to a single dental crown that is cemented onto a natural tooth adjacent to the missing space. This design allows the dental bridge to “cantilever” or extend over the gap, supported only on one end. It is crafted using materials like porcelain-fused-to-metal or all-ceramic, designed to match the surrounding teeth.

1. Consultation and assessment will be conducted.
2. Local anesthesia will be given, and the supporting tooth will be prepared.
3. A dental impression or digital scan will be taken.
4. A temporary dental bridge may be placed while waiting for the final bridge.
5. The final dental bridge will be fitted and cemented in place.
6. Post-care instructions will be provided.

Q1: How long does Cantilever Dental Bridge last?
A1: It can last 5 to 10 years or more, depending on oral hygiene and how much pressure is placed on the dental bridge.

Q2: How many teeth can Cantilever Dental Bridge replace?
A2: It is typically used to replace only one tooth, due to limited support from a single adjacent tooth.

Q3: Can I eat normally after Cantilever Dental Bridge?
A3: Yes, but it is best to avoid hard or sticky foods for at least 1 day after placement. Once adjusted, normal eating can resume.

Q4: How to clean a Cantilever Dental Bridge?
A4: Brush twice daily, floss under the dental bridge using a floss threader or water flosser, and follow regular dental check-ups.

Q5: What are two disadvantages of a Cantilever Dental Bridge?
A5: A Cantilever Dental Bridge places extra pressure on the supporting tooth and is not ideal for back teeth where chewing force is stronger.
