A fixed bridge, is a natural-looking appliance that can replace a section of missing teeth. Because they’re custom made, dental bridges are barely noticeable and can restore the natural contour of the teeth as well as the proper relationship between a patient’s upper and lower teeth.

Bridges are composed of a replacement tooth that physically bridges the gap in a patient’s smile, and one or two crowns that are affixed to the existing teeth on either side of the gap. Many bridges are made of porcelain, but they can also be made of gold or a combination of materials.
