Fixed Bridges
A bridge is used to replace one or more missing
teeth in a patient�s mouth. A bridge is an extension of a crown because
the procedure is a lot the same. A tooth on each side of the missing
tooth space is smoothed down on the tops and side. An impression is
taken from which a model is fabricated. The model is then used by the
dental lab to fabricate the bridge. In the meantime, the patient is
sent home with a temporary bridge. It is possible to replace numerous
missing teeth, but the dentist needs to do a thorough exam to determine
what the best option is.
