What is a "Maryland bonded bridge"?

Ronald Rosenblatt, DDS (General and Cosmetic Dentistry) gives expert video advice on: Why would I want a fixed dental bridge?; Will a dental bridge change the way I speak?; What are the risks associated with a dental bridge? and more...

In a Maryland bonded dental bridge, much less tooth structure is taken down from the tooth. The two pieces to the Maryland Bridge are then bonded to the teeth on either side with the tooth or teeth in the middle. A Maryland dental bridge is not structurally as sound as a conventional bridge and normally will not last as long.
