Most dental bridges are designed to last between 5 to 15 years, with proper care. Traditional and cantilever bridges tend to last on the longer end of this spectrum, particularly if they are crafted from high-quality materials like porcelain-fused-to-metal or zirconia. Maryland bridges, which are less invasive, may have a shorter lifespan due to their adhesive nature. Advances in dental technology and materials continue to improve bridge durability, with many lasting well beyond 15 years when regularly maintained.
