A bridge is an appliance permanently fixed in the mouth to replace missing teeth. It uses remaining teeth to support the new artificial tooth or teeth. A conventional fixed bridge consists of crowns that are fixed to the teeth on either side of the missing teeth with a “floating crown” placed where teeth are missing. Bridges can be made from a variety of materials and this is selected on a case to case basis depending on many factors.
Bridges are usually placed in today’s dentistry when implants are not an option. Dr Mandev Singh prefers implants over bridges as implants do not require adjacent teeth to be involved in the treatment and are the closest to your natural teeth with form, function and care.
