Bridges
It is important to replace missing teeth not only to aid in chewing and appearance but also to prevent the tendency for adjacent and opposing teeth to gradually shift into the open space. Over time, bite and TMJ (jaw joint) problems can develop. A fixed bridge is an ideal way to replace one or more missing teeth. Although there are several types of dental bridges available, the most commonly used bridge is one made up of two crowns fused to an artificial tooth replacing the missing tooth. The fixed bridge is covered with tooth colored porcelain and looks and functions as though the original tooth was never lost.
