A dental bridge is a type of dental restoration that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) that are anchored in place by attaching them to adjacent natural teeth, called abutments. Dental bridges can help restore the function and appearance of your smile, improve your ability to chew and speak properly, and prevent other teeth from shifting out of position. However, they require proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups to maintain their longevity.
