What is a Dental Bridge?
A custom restoration that literally bridges the space.
A traditional bridge uses one or more artificial teeth, called pontics, held between crowns placed over the healthy supporting teeth beside the gap. Those supporting teeth are called abutments.

The design, materials, and support depend on the number and location of missing teeth, the bite, and the health of nearby teeth.
