A dental bridge is a semi-permanent prosthetic appliance which consists of an artificial tooth called pontic with crowns on either side. The false tooth bridges the gap when the pontic is fixed in the missing tooth place and renders support from the adjacent teeth by adhering the dental crowns on them.

Replacing the missing teeth with dental bridges restore the smile aesthetics along with inhibiting the negativities of a tooth lost like jaw bone loss, the adjacent teeth drifting out from their position.
Are dental bridges noticeable?
