A dental bridge is a custom-made prosthetic device designed to close the gap created by missing teeth. This bridge consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap, with a false tooth or teeth in between. These false teeth, known as pontics, can be made from a variety of materials, including gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination.
The Benefits of Dental Bridges
Choosing a dental bridge can bring numerous benefits. They help maintain the shape of your face, preventing the sunken appearance that can occur with missing teeth. They also distribute the forces in your bite properly by replacing missing teeth and prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position. Moreover, dental bridges can restore your ability to chew and speak properly, which is essential for overall health and wellbeing.
