Sometimes called a fixed partial denture, a bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth literally “bridging” the gap where one or more teeth are missing.
Unlike a removable partial denture, which you must take out and clean, a fixed bridge can only be removed by a dentist. Because of this, bridges more closely resemble natural teeth and are frequently preferred by patients. Some bridges can be done in a same day appointment! If you’re interested in a bridge, ask if this is a right option for you!
