A bridge is a fixed replacement for a missing tooth or teeth. It spans the space where the teeth are missing.
Once it has been fitted the bridge does not need to be removed from the mouth each day, unlike a denture.

Your dentist will discuss treatment options with you, ensure you understand the procedure, and answer any questions.
