bridges
Besides having a dental implant, there are two main ways to replace missing teeth. The first is to have a false removable tooth or teeth, known as a partial denture. The second is with a fixed bridge.
Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. They are false teeth, known as a pontics, which are fused between porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by missing teeth. A bridge is usually used where there are fewer teeth to replace, or when the missing teeth are only on one side of the mouth. They can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials and are supported by natural teeth or implants.
Bridges can reduce your risk of gum disease, help correct some bite issues, prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position and even improve your speech. Bridges require your commitment to serious oral hygiene, but will last as many as ten years or more.
