Dental Bridges

Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

A bridge is made up of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap -- these two or more anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth -- and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.

Some of the reasons for needing a fixed bridge may include:

Replacing missing teeth,
Maintain the shape of your face
Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position
Restoring form, function and smile
Upgrade from a removable partial denture to a fixed alternative.
