The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a dental bridge 1. In the method, a pre-sintered blank made from a green body of ceramic material is subjected to a machining operation that transforms the blank into an intermediate product 4 with a bridge structure 5 and a support body 6 linked to the bridge structure 5 by one or several retaining sections that extend from the support body 6 to the bridge structure 5. A sintering operation is then performed on the intermediate product 4 while the retaining section(s) still link(s) the support body 6 to the bridge structure 5.
