Dental Bridges: The Ultimate
Convenience
 A dental bridge might be suggested if you have lost more than one teeth. The
openings left by lost teeth ultimately cause the other teeth to revolve or move
into the unfilled spaces, resulting in a bad bite. The disproportion caused by lost
teeth can also lead to gum disease and temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
illnesses. Bridges are normally used to swap one or more missing teeth. The
bridge is surfaced to the natural teeth or inserts close to the empty space. These
teeth also called as abutments; act as anchors for the bridge. A spare tooth,
called a pontic, is tied to the crowns which cover the supports. As for crown,
you can choose the material for dental bridge. The dentist can also help you in
selecting which to use, centered on the place of the lost tooth (or teeth), its
purpose, visual concerns and cost. Porcelain or ceramic bridges can be
coordinated to the color of your usual teeth.
 Dental bridges have two major benefits:
1. Restoration of the lost teeth
2. Prevent the problems that can occur after one or more teeth are lost.
