Connecting across a gap.
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. The practice describes replacement teeth held between supporting structures.
Bridges may be supported by natural teeth or implants. The available support and the condition of neighboring teeth are useful points to discuss with the dentist.
At your appointment
Ask how a bridge would be supported in your mouth and what treatment of adjacent teeth might be involved. Compare daily cleaning, appearance and other replacement choices before deciding.
Questions worth bringing
- What would support a bridge in my case?
- How would I clean around and beneath it?
- How does this compare with an implant or denture?
