Dental Bridges in Brooklyn, New York

Dental bridges are used to fill a gap caused by missing teeth. A dental bridge is made up of two or more crowns placed on each side of the gap, with false teeth in between the anchor teeth. Dental bridges can be supported with dental implants or with natural teeth in the mouth. What Is a Dental Bridge? A bridge is a fixed device that can only be removed by a dentist. It consists of two crowns fitted over abutment teeth, the teeth, usually on either side of the gap, and these crowns are attached to the replacement or false teeth. Each replacement tooth is called a pontic, shaped like a natural tooth, resting directly on the gum underneath. Types of Dental Bridges Dental bridges are used to restore the function of teeth, enhance a smile, fix a bite, prevent other teeth from moving (where there are missing teeth in between crowns), and/or to maintain the shape of one’s face, to name a few reasons. A traditional bridge is the most common type and is made of porcelain that is fused to ceramic or even metal. A resin-bonded bridge uses wings on each side of the bridge that are bonded to the existing teeth directly.
