A dental bridge helps bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on both sides of the gap – these anchoring teeth are also known as abutment teeth. Then the false tooth or teeth will be between these anchors. The false teeth are called pontics and can be made from porcelain, alloys, gold, or a combination of these metals. Bridges can be supported by your natural teeth or by implants.
