A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. The bridge is typically made up of two or more dental crowns that are attached to neighboring teeth, with a false tooth or teeth in the middle to fill in the gap.
Dental bridges are typically recommended for patients who have lost one or more teeth and want to restore their ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Bridges can also help prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place, which can lead to bite problems and additional dental issues.
The process of getting a dental bridge typically involves several visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the neighboring teeth will be prepared to receive the crowns that will hold the bridge in place. An impression of the teeth will then be taken and sent to a dental lab where the bridge will be fabricated.
