What is a Cantilever Bridge?

This type is similar to the fixed bridge, except that the false tooth is attached to only one crown as opposed to two. This is usually done only on the front teeth where there is less stress on the teeth due to biting forces.

A normal dental bridge has a sound tooth on either end with missing teeth in between those sound teeth. A cantilever bridge is attached to one tooth and then hangs over, or cantilevers, beyond that one tooth without another tooth on the other end.
