Maryland Bridge (Adhesive) Composite, also called an adhesive composite dental bridge, is a type of fixed dental prosthesis designed to replace a missing tooth in a conservative way. This type of dental bridge consists of an artificial tooth, known as a pontic, which is attached to thin wings made from metal, porcelain, or composite resin. These wings are bonded to the back surface of the neighboring teeth with a strong dental adhesive, allowing the artificial tooth to stay firmly in place. Because very little natural tooth structure is removed, Maryland Bridge (Adhesive) Composite is recognized as a conservative procedure compared to traditional dental bridges.

The main advantage of Maryland Bridge (Adhesive) Composite is no preparation of the supporting teeth is needed, which helps preserve healthy enamel. By avoiding full dental crowns, natural teeth remain largely intact while still providing a stable base for the dental bridge. The dentist at our affiliated clinic may recommend this procedure especially in the front region of the mouth, where appearance and aesthetics are most important. The artificial tooth is carefully colour-matched to surrounding teeth, creating a seamless and natural-looking smile.

In addition to being conservative, Maryland Bridge (Adhesive) Composite also offers practical benefits. With proper dental care and maintenance, Maryland Bridge (Adhesive) Composite can provide several years of function, comfort, and improved appearance, while also serving as a valuable temporary option before more permanent procedures such as when implants are considered.

Maryland Bridge (Adhesive) Composite begins by consultation with the dentist at our affiliated clinic, where an assessment of oral health and suitability is carried out. During this stage, the dentist examines the surrounding teeth, gums, and bite to ensure that the dental bridge can be supported without extensive preparation. Diagnostic tools such as impressions, digital scans, or X-rays are often used to plan the shape, size, and shade of the replacement tooth. This careful evaluation ensures that the dental bridge will look natural and function properly once placed.

The procedure is generally completed in a short time, often within 2 visits, depending on laboratory work required for fabrication. Once the dental bridge is ready, the dentist at our affiliated clinic cleans and conditions the supporting teeth before bonding the wings of the dental bridge with a strong dental adhesive. The artificial tooth is adjusted for bite comfort and polished to blend seamlessly with natural teeth. The entire bonding process usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes, making it a relatively quick dental procedure compared to implants or full dental bridges.

The main benefit of this method is the conservative approach, as little to no tooth structure is removed. Downtime is very short, allowing normal activities such as speaking and smiling immediately after placement. Eating can also resume shortly, though hard or sticky foods may be restricted for 5 to 7 days. With its combination of speed, comfort, and aesthetic results, Maryland Bridge (Adhesive) Composite provides an effective solution for replacing a missing tooth in a straightforward and minimally invasive way.
