Dental bridges are a dental restoration procedure used to replace missing teeth. They can be either artificial (fixed) or natural (removable). The use of this type of treatment will depend on the severity and location of the tooth loss. Bridges are made from a series of porcelain or gold crowns that span the space where teeth have been removed. A bridge may be attached to adjacent teeth for extra support in some cases.
In most cases, it takes two visits with your dentist for this procedure to take place: One visit in which impressions are taken and molds created, and another visit when you return so your dentist can fit your new dental bridge.

In conclusion, dental bridges are an excellent solution for tooth loss. They fill the spaces left by the missing teeth, preventing tooth migration and the collapse of the facial skeleton. They help keep your bite appropriately aligned, which can avert jaw problems down the road. Missing teeth can cause bone loss in your jaw, leading to an altered appearance over time. Dental bridges stabilize remaining teeth and stop them from drifting out of position-a bridge helps improve chewing ability and speech articulation. The pontic on a dental bridge is made to look just like your other natural teeth so that it will be difficult to tell which ones are fake – giving you back your confident smile.
