Bridges are porcelain restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is important to replace missing teeth because over time this open space may cause your remaining teeth ti shift and leave gaps between them. Far worse, this shifting can change your bite and lead to headaches, muscle and jaw pain. A bridge is anchored to then two teeth that are adjacent to the empty space. It functions as one unit, so it will require some special care when brushing and flossing.
Replacing missing teeth with either a bridge or implants is important to maintain overall health and appearance.
