A
bridge is used to replace missing teeth. It helps to maintain
the shape of your face, and also relieves the stress on your
bite due to the missing teeth. The artificial teeth in a bridge
look like your original teeth.
A
bridge is created from gold, alloys, porcelain, or some combination
of these materials. After being created, it is bonded onto
the surrounding teeth for support.
The
long-term prognosis for any bridge depends on its foundation—meaning
the other teeth, gums, or bone to which it is attached. It
is very important to keep existing teeth, gums, and jaw both
healthy and strong.
