Category: dental bridge

A dental bridge is a non-removable dental restoration that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It uses artificial teeth (pontics) that attach to adjacent teeth or dental implants. The teeth that support the bridge are called abutment teeth. Bridges are typically made of porcelain and metals like zirconia and gold alloy, and they can last for many years with proper care. Different types of bridges exist, including traditional, cantilever, resin-bonded, and implant-supported bridges. Getting a dental bridge usually requires multiple dental visits.
