Understanding restorative dentistry
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth, called the pontic, to the natural teeth on either side, called the abutments. The abutments are prepared with crowns that hold the bridge in place. A traditional three unit bridge replaces one missing tooth using two neighboring teeth as supports. Modern implant supported bridges avoid touching healthy neighbors and are often the longer lasting choice when bone volume is adequate.
- A three unit bridge replaces one tooth using two neighbors
- Bridges are cemented and are not removed for cleaning
- Special floss threaders help clean under the pontic
- Implant supported bridges preserve healthy neighboring teeth
