A dental bridge can be recommended when one or more teeth are missing. A traditional three-unit bridge consists of two supporting crowns placed on natural teeth or implants, with the replacement tooth positioned between them. In certain cases, teeth next to the missing tooth may still be suitable to support a bridge even if they have previously been damaged, provided that their roots and supporting tissues are healthy.
Alternatives to Dental Bridges
Other solutions may include removable partial dentures and dental implants.
Dental implants have become increasingly popular because they can replace missing teeth without requiring the preparation of neighbouring healthy teeth.
