Bridges
When a tooth or teeth are lost the teeth around it tip and move toward the space formerly occupied by the missing tooth or teeth. This shifting of the teeth alters the direction of force applied to the remaining teeth, their roots and the jaws during chewing.
These misdirected forces accelerate tooth movement and allow the teeth that used to chew with the missing tooth or teeth to move up or down out of their sockets into the empty space. Dental bridges can correct an altered bite, improve your chewing ability and speech and prevent the collapse of your facial features that can cause premature wrinkles and age lines.
A dental bridge is a false tooth or teeth which are fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth or teeth. The false tooth is held with the two crowns attached onto your teeth. This is known as a fixed bridge. This procedure is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Fixed bridges are permanent.
