When a tooth or teeth are missing, they can be restored by placing the crowns on the teeth next to the gap onto which false teeth are fixed. A bridge is cemented in place and cannot be removed by the patient. It should be looked after like natural teeth and the hygienist will demonstrate the use of floss to enable you to look after it correctly.

Bridges can be used in areas of your mouth where dental implants are not possible and in conjunction with dental implants, modern bridges will look and feel like natural teeth.
