Bridges
Bridges are multiple crowns, which usually “bridge the gap” caused by missing teeth. They help maintain the shape of your face, as well as alleviate the stress of your bite, caused by missing teeth.
Sometimes called a fixed partial denture, the restoration can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support.
Unlike a removable bridge, which you can take out and clean, a fixed bridge is cemented or bonded in place.
