A bridge is a procedure for permanently replacing a missing tooth. The results in both appearance and performance are excellent. A bridge procedure involves the fabrication of a porcelain prosthesis, custom-made to perfectly replace the original tooth. To secure your new tooth, the teeth either side are prepared as if for crowns. The new tooth—as part of a “three unit bridge” comprising two supporting crowns—is then bonded to the adjacent prepared teeth. This procedure is completed over two visits. A bridge is a permanent, convenient and functional alternative to a partial denture. The procedure may also provide an alternative to a dental implant.
