Bridge
A dental bridge is a common, affordable, and low-risk treatment for missing teeth. The dental bridge is so called because it bridges the gap created when teeth are lost.
Bridge is used to replace the single tooth or multiple teeth that have been lost. One of the options to prevent the consequences of shifting teeth and to restore full function in the mouth is a dental bridge.
The typical bridge comprises one or more artificial teeth, known as Pontics, which are held in place by two dental crowns, or abutments. Though the replacement teeth used in bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including silver amalgam or gold, they are made from porcelain for aesthetic considerations.
