Dental Bridge
|
It’s a branch of dental science that deals with restoration of damaged teeth with artificial crown replacing the missing natural teeth by a cast prosthesis permanently cemented in place.
A dental bridge is a false tooth, known as a pontic, which is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. The two crowns holding it in place that are attached onto your teeth on each side of the false tooth. This is known as a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Fixed bridges cannot be taken out of your mouth as you might do with removable partial dentures.
