Bridges are permanent restorations that ‘bridge’ a gap of space where a tooth is missing.
When a gap is present, this can affect a person’s appearance, function, and speech. Each individual is affected differently. A bridge comprises two crowns fitted on the natural teeth on either side of the space and a replacement tooth in the middle. This creates an illusion of a tooth where there is none.
Some of the reasons people may choose to have bridges for their teeth are:
Fill in the space of missing teeth
Difficulties chewing and speaking
Cosmetic enhancement of their smile
Maintain their facial structure
Prevent other teeth from moving
They wish to upgrade from a removable denture to a permanent dental appliance
