Bridges

A bridge is the traditional method used to fill the space created by missing teeth. A bridge is one or more artificial teeth that are cemented into place using the teeth on either side for support, hence the name. This is an option for filling the space created by a missing tooth. A bridge replaces the missing tooth, both functionally and cosmetically. Bridge work is as much an art as it is an exact science. The materials used may  porcelain bonded to metal alloy, or all porcelain material made to match your natural tooth color. The choice of material depends on requirements for strength, wear, and/or esthetics.
