Bridges

Permanent bridges are an excellent way to replace a missing tooth.  The best explaination of a bridge is to think of it as three crowns.  The tooth on either side of the missing area is trimmed just like a crown.  Our laboratory fabricates the bridge by making a crown for the teeth on either side of the missing area with the fake tooth in the middle.  The bridge is then cemented in the mouth. 

Advantages

• not removeable, most people do not realize it is there
• strong and durable
• appears like the tooth was never missing
