A bridge is a replacement for one or more missing teeth: it literally bridges the gap. This is a good solution if you don’t have many missing teeth or your missing teeth are all on one side, and your surrounding teeth are healthy and strong.
It is important to replace missing teeth. Not only will this restore the appearance of your smile, but it will also correct bite issues and prevent your remaining teeth from drifting into the empty space. A bridge will support the false tooth or teeth, and reduce the susceptibility of remaining teeth to decay and gum disease.
A bridge is made up of two or more crowns that fit to the teeth on either side of the gap. These teeth serve as anchors for the false tooth, or teeth, that is fitted in between.
The bridge itself can be made from metal, porcelain or a combination of both. The replacement tooth that’s fixed between your bridge can be colour-matched closely to the rest of your teeth.#yourteethmyconcern
