Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created
by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two crowns
for the teeth on either side of the gap – these two anchoring
teeth are called abutment teeth – and a false tooth/teeth
in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be
made from gold, alloys, porcelain or a combination of these
materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or
implants.
