A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth.

There are several types of bridges.  You and your dentist will discuss the best options for your particular case.The “traditional bridge” is the most popular type and is usually made of a high strength ceramic called zirconia .  This type of bridge consists of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years and are a cost effective and predictable way to replace missing teeth.Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new permanent bridge.
