 Permanent
Fixed Bridge
A Permanent Bridge replaces one or more missing teeth.
A Bridge will:
- Keep teeth from drifting into the space created
from a missing tooth
- Help preserve normal function and normal bite for
the jaw joint
A Permanent Bridge is usually anchored to the teeth
on both sides of the space from the missing tooth. This
gives the bridge strong support. Brushing a bridge is
no different than brushing natural teeth, but special
flossing instructions are given to keep the bridge and
surrounding tissue healthy.
A Permanent Bridge is permanently bonded in place,
unlike a Partial Denture (sometimes called a "Removable
Bridge"), which is removable.
