Bridges
Bridges help maintain the shape of your face, as well as
alleviating the stress in your bite by replacing missing
teeth.
Sometimes called a fixed partial denture, a bridge
replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks
great, and literally "bridges" the gap where one or more
teeth may have been.
Unlike a removable bridge, which you can take out and
clean, a fixed bridge can only be removed by a dentist
An implant bridge attaches artificial teeth directly to
the jaw or under the gum tissue. Depending on which type
of bridge your dentist recommends, its success depends
on its foundation. So it's very important to keep your
remaining teeth healthy and strong.
