A missing tooth or teeth can create an unhealthy situation over time. It is very important to restore these gaps. When one or more teeth are lost or missing, the neighboring teeth can shift, tip or even erupt into the space. Teeth that have drifted from their normal and healthy position are often more susceptible to decay and gum disease. Further, this movement can lead to changes in a patient’s bite that can ultimately put stress on the jaws, muscles, teeth and temporomandibular joints (TMJ). Over time this can affect a patient’s ability to chew and may even change the facial appearance depending on the location and number of missing teeth.

Dental bridges or fixed partial denture are false teeth, known as a pontics, which are fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth.

Dental bridge is the process of replacing the missing teeth.
The bridge is made depending upon the number of consecutive teeth missing. Initially before going for a dental bridge, there should be a proper examination of the teeth. Dental bridge procedure requires at least two visits.
