A bridge is a restoration that fills in where a tooth has been removed. When a bridge is placed, it is anchored to the teeth on either side of the space. The bridge not only prevents tipping and drifting of teeth, but also allows for normal chewing function. The bridge is anchored to the adjacent teeth in a number of ways depending on the condition and position of these teeth.

Advantages Of Bridges
• Restores and corrects the shape, contour, and function of teeth
• Provides strength to a compromised tooth so it can withstand the stress of chewing
• Corrects the way the teeth fit together in normal chewing function
• Restores the appearance to a white, natural looking tooth
• Corrects poor spacing and makes crooked teeth look more even
