Dental
Bridges
A
bridge is used to replaces one or more natural
missing teeth, thereby bridging the space between
two teeth. A dental bridge is a false tooth, known
as a pontic, which is fused between two dental
crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth.
The two crowns on the adjacent supporting teeth
of the missing gaps are attached and holds it
in place onto your teeth on each side of the pontic
tooth.
Dental bridges, similar to dental
crowns, can be made of porcelain, precious alloys
(gold), or a combination of both. An complete
ceramic bridge may be done on anterior teeth that
offers good natural esthetics. |
