Traditional dental bridges aren't always the best way to fill the gap left by a missing tooth. While these bridges work well in many cases, you sometimes need a different solution, such as a cantilever bridge. How do cantilever bridges work and what are their benefits? What Are Cantilever Dental Bridges? Traditional bridges use the teeth at either side of a missing tooth to support the bridging device. Your dentist attaches the bridgework to these teeth. If you've lost a tooth, then you might not be sure whether you should fill the gap in your mouth.
