What is a bridge?<\/b>
\nA bridge is a false tooth<\/b> that is fused to one or two crowns. This false tooth, or pontic, is held in its position on the gum by the anchoring crowns next to it.<\/p>\n

<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]What kind of bridges are there?<\/b><\/p>\n
    \n

    • The traditional fixed bridge<\/b> is a false tooth fused to two crowns. The crowns fit permanently on the teeth on both sides of the new false tooth, and anchor it in place as a \u201cbridge\u201d over the gum. This dental technique is otherwise similar to regular crown procedure. The fixed bridge offers the most natural fit and appearance.<\/li>\n
    • The cantilever bridge<\/b> is a false tooth that is anchored to a tooth or teeth on one side, and not the other. This dental technique is otherwise similar to regular crown procedure. A cantilever bridge does not have the same strength as a traditional fixed bridge and can only be used in areas of less stress, like front teeth.<\/li>\n
    • The removable bridge<\/b> is not cemented permanently. It may be available at a lower cost, but will require extra hygiene attention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      What alternatives do I have to a bridge?<\/b>
      \nA partial denture<\/b> is a removable appliance that can replace one or more teeth, and dental implants are a permanent alternative for missing teeth. Ask Dr. Gilsdorf about the advantages of each in your particular situation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
