Bridges

Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth.

A bridge is made up of two crowns one on each tooth on either side of the gap—these two anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth—and a false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by either natural teeth or dental implants.
