Description of service:
We have used fixed bridges with high success for many years to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Teeth on both sides of the space left by the missing tooth are prepared for a crown. Then a false tooth is joined to the crowns, and the entire bridge is cemented to the prepared teeth. The patient cannot remove the bridge, and special aids are available to keep it clean. Although dental implants are often considered the “gold standard” for the replacement of missing teeth, in the appropriate circumstance, a fixed bridge can be a viable and more affordable alternative.
