A dental bridge is a prosthetic that fills the gap between teeth. It includes artificial teeth with crowns on each end, secured to existing teeth or implants. A partial denture is not as secure or comfortable as a fixed bridge, even though it is sometimes referred to as a "removable dental bridge."
Traditional bridge requires at least two appointments numb treatment area, prepare anchor teeth, take impressions
Impressions used to design bridge and plan attachment
Instructions sent to dental lab to fabricate porcelain bridge
