If you require a more extensive restoration than a crown or have more than one tooth that needs to be repaired, a good solution is a bridge. Here is how they work:
- Bridges use teeth on either side of a missing tooth space to support a replacement restoration. They are usually made of a metal base, which gives them a solid structure and makes them hard-wearing. A bridge helps to strengthen the prepared teeth and makes chewing and eating easier because they are fixed in place and can’t come out.
- Some bridges can also be fixed to your jaw with dental implants, if you have too many missing teeth next to each other.
