Bridges
A bridge is a custom made appliance anchored to neighboring teeth that replaces one or more missing teeth. When a lost tooth is replaced with bridge work, the teeth on either side of the missing one are prepared as crowns to serve as abutments to hold the prosthetic (replacement) tooth in place. Bridges are made from superior materials such as porcelain, precious metal or a combination of the two. Aesthetics, function and tissue compatibility are considered when selecting the material most suitable for your needs.
