A BRIDGE is used to bridge the gap left by missing teeth and is ideal for people who do not like dentures. Conventional bridges are made by crowning the teeth on either side of a gap and attaching a false teeth in the middle so that it appears that it emerges from the gum like the original tooth.

Your suitability for bridges depends greatly on the health and gum condition of your remaining teeth, something that the dentist will obviously discuss with you.

They are fixed in the same way as crowns and are usually made of precious metal bonded to porcelain. Nowadays, with advancements in cosmetic dentistry, they can be made of ultra modern all porcelain giving them a very natural and life-like appearance, so no one would ever know you had a missing tooth.
