Missing teeth are more than an aesthetic problem. These gaps can lead to chewing and speaking issues, shifting teeth, gum problems, and more. Absolute Dental offers durable and affordable resin-bonded dental bridges to transform your smile and restore your dental health.
While there are different types of dental bridges, a resin-bonded bridge is a popular choice for people with one or more missing teeth. A bonded bridge is a fixed dental restoration that attaches a false tooth or teeth to natural teeth with a durable resin material. The artificial tooth has a winged extension that is bonded to the neighboring teeth.
What Are Resin-Bonded Bridges Made With?
The materials used in resin-bonded dental bridges can range from ceramic to metal or a combination of ceramic, metal, porcelain, zirconia, or graphene. All-ceramic bonded bridges are typically favored because they match the color of natural teeth and blend in more easily. However, metal covered with tooth-colored ceramic is another good option.
Are There Different Kinds Of Resin-Bonded Bridges?
There are multiple types of bonded bridges, including a Maryland bridge and a hybrid bridge. The one that works best for you will depend on several factors, such as where the missing tooth is located and your budget. Work with your dentist to determine the best solution for your needs.
Who Should Get A Resin-Bonded Bridge?
Resin-bonded dental bridges are often ideal for missing front teeth, such as canines or incisors. Bonded bridges are a good alternative because it is difficult to anchor a dental bridge with a crown on these teeth. If you have missing upper or bottom teeth in the front of your mouth, ask your Reno dentist about this option.
With this offer, there’s no excuse not to get back on track! Schedule a complete exam and x-rays for only $39 and ensure you have a beautiful healthy smile.
What Are The Benefits Of A Resin-Bonded Bridge?
There are several advantages to choosing a resin-bonded dental bridge over other cosmetic dentistry procedures.
Minimally Invasive
Dental bridges do not require invasive procedures to install the restoration. In particular, resin-bonded bridges do not need extensive preparation of the abutment teeth as well. Your natural teeth remain intact, and no oral surgery is necessary.
Works For Highly Visual Areas
Not all types of dental bridges can work for missing teeth in the aesthetic areas of the mouth. However, a resin-bonded bridge is designed to replace teeth in those highly visual areas without being noticeable.
Longevity And Durability
Bonded bridges are made to last and remain in the mouth for up to a decade or more with the right care. This means you don’t have to remove the bridge like you would dentures. However, you must practice good oral hygiene to keep your teeth and gums healthy enough to support the bridge.
Affordability
If you want to restore your smile and improve functionality after losing a tooth, resin-bonded dental bridges are much more affordable than a dental implant and other cosmetic fixes.

Are There Special Considerations With Resin-Bonded Bridges?
While bonded dental bridges are perfect in some situations, they may not work for every person. For example, your dentist may recommend another solution for your missing tooth or teeth if:
There is no space to accommodate the extensions that bond to the abutment teeth
The neighboring teeth are not healthy enough to support a bonded bridge
You suffer from teeth-grinding or bruxism that can damage the bridge

While traditional bridges can potentially last for decades, a resin-bonded bridge will typically serve patients for five to ten years. This is because the bond is not as strong as a traditional bridge that uses dental crowns to attach to the abutment teeth. However, with the right care, they can last longer.
Bonded bridges may not be ideal for back teeth or molars that use pressure to grind food while chewing. Dentists usually recommend traditional dental bridges, dental implants, or dentures to replace these teeth.
A common complication of resin-bonded dental bridges is premature loosening or detachment of the bridge. This happens when the bond weakens due to poor oral hygiene or improper maintenance of the dental bridge. You can avoid these issues by staying on top of your dental care and seeing your dentist regularly.
