What is a bridge, and why do I need one?
Bridges are tooth replacements that are attached to crowns placed on adjoining natural teeth. Bridges are better than partial dentures because once they are cemented into place, they look and feel much like natural teeth. However, the bone and gum around the tooth must be healthy, and bridges can only replace a limited number of missing teeth. Bridges are necessary to keep natural teeth adjacent to and opposite the space in position, which in turn, keeps the gums and teeth healthy. The also aid in chewing, and helping you look better.
