Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are used to replace missing teeth and are made of porcelain crowns that blend in to look like natural teeth. The teeth in front and behind the gap caused from the missing teeth serve as the anchor teeth of the bridge and give strength to the bridge. An advantage of bridges over implants to replace missing teeth is the lower cost. The disadvantage to placing a bridge is that it is less conservative than implants, because the anchor teeth that hold the bridge will also need porcelain crowns.
