Dental Bridges

If teeth have been lost, then the replacement options include implants, fixed bridges and dentures. 

A fixed bridge is an appliance predominantly made of porcelain designed to replace missing teeth in the most natural way possible. This procedure usually takes from two to three appointments to complete and is very similar to having a crown placed on a tooth.

The fixed bridge is a permanent construction. Once cemented in the mouth it is not removed at all. It
should restore function and aesthetics to the mouth and especially in the front of the mouth, should augment an individuals’ smile. To achieve such accuracy and precision, the fixed bridge is constructed by a ceramic dental technician in a specialist dental laboratory.

The reason it is called a fixed bridge is because it extends from one healthy tooth to the next and spans the gap in the middle.
