Why Maryland Bridge Can Be a Great Replacement for an Implant

Do you have a tooth that is missing? The Maryland Bridge. Something your dentist won’t tell you. If you have a missing tooth and are looking for a replacement, a Maryland Bridge may be the best option. Especially if you don’t have enough bone and are opposed to bone surgery (which is risky) or don’t like the idea of traditional bridges. First and foremost, the missing tooth is critical to your health for several reasons. A lack of molars on one side of the mouth can impair your ability to chew food thoroughly and adequately. Chewing insufficiently can lead to digestive issues in the long run. It can decrease vitality. Dentists rarely recommend this type of bridge, which is why you’ve never heard of it.

What exactly is the Maryland Bridge?

Because it requires little preparation of the adjacent teeth, the Maryland Bridge is becoming increasingly popular. Maryland bridges are made of a one-of-a-kind ceramic material that is cemented onto the enamel of neighboring teeth. One advantage of the Maryland bridge is that it requires little preparation and does not expose the inner part of the tooth known as the dentin. This modification reduces your chances of experiencing tooth sensitivity after the procedure. Furthermore, because the nearby teeth will not be significantly altered, the procedure is usually reversible. It is often performed without the need for local anesthetic. A successful Maryland bridge can last 5 to 7 years or more. Unsuccessful ones with poor quality and incorrect span with incorrect glue can fall off after a few months or a year or two. Since I was a child, I’ve had a missing tooth. I couldn’t get an implant because I didn’t have enough bone, and bone placement was risky. A traditional bridge did not appeal to me. I came across the Maryland Bridge. Even though it fell off after a year and I had to replace it a few times (it only stayed for a few months), I fixed the wings and hoped it would stay for many years. If you have a molar and the adjacent teeth are smaller, Maryland Bridge may not last long. If you have a smaller tooth with better support then the Maryland Bridge is way more ideal and can last a lot longer. So, if you don’t have enough bone inside your gums, I recommend that you try Maryland first before deciding on an implant or conventional bridge. Ceramic wings are far superior to metal wings and can last much longer.
