Dental Bridges

Bridges are tooth-colored material dental appliances (fixed or removable) replacing lost teeth. Bridgework looks and functions almost like the real thing. All-ceramic bridges can hardly be distinguished from natural teeth, are highly aesthetic, and retain a natural appearance under all light conditions.

Fixed Dental Bridges

A fixed bridge replaces one or more missing natural teeth. It cannot be removed by the patient. It is cemented into place and is firmly attached to the prepared natural teeth that are next to it. The fixed bridge can be made of porcelain fused to precious metal or all porcelain without any metal.

Metal-Free Dental Bridges

Given a choice, no one likes to have metal inside their mouth. Apart from being ugly, metal can damage the opposing tooth surface by abrading (wearing) it. Metal-free bridges do not damage the opposing teeth. Their greatest advantage is that minor changes can be done even after the bridges have been bonded inside the mouth.
