Bridges
A dental bridge is a custom-made dental restoration designed to restore the gap created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth that are anchored by adjacent crowns or implants. Bridges restore proper chewing function, prevent shifting of remaining teeth, and improve smile aesthetics.
They come in various materials, including porcelain, metal, or a combination of both, ensuring durability and a natural appearance. Dental bridges are a popular and effective solution for restoring both the functionality and aesthetics of a smile affected by tooth loss.
