A bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces the space where one or more teeth have been lost. An artificial tooth is attached to crowns that are cemented onto the adjacent teeth. A bridge is cemented into place; it can only be removed by a dentist.
The advantages of a bridge are:
- A bridge looks and feels like natural teeth
- There is no need to remove a bridge from your mouth to clean the area
- A bridge fills the space left from lost teeth; this stops the shifting of teeth that can lead to occlusion problems (bite problems)
There are three different types of artificial teeth that can be used in bridges; these are gold, porcelain fused to metal and all-porcelain. Your doctor can discuss which material is the best option for your dental health.
