A
dental bridge is an excellent way to replace
missing teeth, maintain facial shape, prevent
teeth from drifting out of position, restore
chewing and speaking ability and restore
smiles.
Because they are custom-made, bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the
natural contour of teeth as well as the proper bite relationship between upper
and lower teeth.
Bridges are sometimes referred to as fixed partial dentures, because they are
semi-permanent and are bonded to existing teeth or implants.
Some bridges are removable and can be cleaned by the wearer; others need to be
removed by a dentist.
Porcelain, gold alloys or combinations of materials are usually used to make
bridge appliances. |
