Dental bridges are a form of restorative dentistry that replace missing teeth by bridging the gap between neighboring teeth.
Typically, a dental bridge will use two or more adjacent teeth as anchors to secure the missing tooth in place. Dental bridges can be made of metal structures, ceramic or alloy structures, or can be based on them.
Moreover, dentists can also employ three different kinds of bridge technology – namely, fixed bridge, removable bridge, and adjustable bridge – to help patients replace lost teeth.
All forms of dental bridges have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it is important for patients to research and discuss their options with their dentist before deciding on the best one for them.
