BEST DENTAL CLINIC IN ARUMBAKKAM DO YOU HAVE A MISSING TOOTH? Dental bridges replace missing teeth. Specifically, they can replace one tooth or a row of missing teeth. As the name implies, this appliance literally “bridges the gap” in your smile. Dentists can create custom bridges that match the shade of your natural teeth. The dental bridge is intended to increase ease of eating and speaking, which may be difficult if teeth are missing.  In most cases, a dental crown is placed on the healthy teeth on each side of the gap to support the bridge in between them. These teeth are known as anchor teeth or abutment teeth. The bridge essentially creates a false tooth, known as a pontic. The pontic may be constructed from various materials such as gold, alloys, porcelain or a mixture of these materials. Depending on your situation and the type of bridge you receive, your bridge might consist of one or more abutments and one or more pontics. The success of the bridge is dependent on the strength of the healthy teeth that support it. Therefore, good dental care is essential to promote the durability of the dental bridge.
