A dental bridge is a fixed prosthesis that is used to replace one or more missing teeth.The replacement teeth are fused between crowns that are placed on the surrounding teeth, serving to anchor the replacement teeth. This creates a bridge which holds the restoration firmly in place.
Bridges are recommended when there is one or more missing teeth, which have an impact on your smile, speech, the shape of your face or function of your teeth.
If you have lost a tooth and do not desire to anchor a bridge from existing teeth, you may consider a dental implant.
