A fixed dental bridge is a non-removable prosthesis attached to remaining natural teeth.

Fixed bridges were the best alternative for people who had lost teeth in which a bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Your bridge can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination of these materials and is bonded onto surrounding teeth for support. They were quite successful and esthetically pleasing. Unfortunately, bridges can also present some problems because the natural teeth that lie on either side of the bridge are filed to accept the appliance. A bridge may be used to replace missing teeth, help maintain the shape of your face, and alleviate stress on your bite.
