A dental bridge is used to “bridge” the gap between one or more missing teeth. A bridge is usually made up of two crowns that sit on each tooth on either side of the gap, and these two crowns are attached to another full tooth shaped crown which sits in the gap where the missing tooth was. A dental bridge may be recommended to you in cases where a dental implant is not suitable or desirable, or when the two teeth beside the missing tooth are quite damaged or heavily filled.
