A bridge is made to replace one or more missing teeth. Bridges can be supported in any of three ways:

• By natural teeth
• By implants
• By a combination of teeth and implants

A traditional bridge is made by creating a crown for the teeth on either side of the space and placing a false tooth or teeth between the crowns. The crowns can be supported by natural teeth or by implants. The false tooth or teeth are attached to the crowns and fill the empty space.

Traditional bridges are made either of porcelain fused to metal (PFM) or ceramics, and there are many types of bridges. Call Pointe Family Dental and schedule an appointment today so we can discuss the options you have, and which bridge would best suit your dental needs.
