FIXED BRIDGE
A bridge is a fixed prosthodontic device, used to replace missing teeth. They can be very simple single tooth designs or a more complex device for multiple teeth.
There is a choice of material from all ceramic to a metal ceramic combination.
Your dentist will discuss the pros and cons of bridge work when you are deciding what treatment will suit you best.
