What are Dental Bridges?<\/h2>\n

A dental bridge can be used to replace several teeth missing consecutively in a row. It consists of tooth-colored porcelain fixtures that are affixed to a metal bracket that fastens to your surrounding teeth. One of the perks of this process is that the bridge is easy to remove and clean.<\/p>\n

Take note, though, that bridges rest on top of your gums. Therefore, they can only provide minimal support for your jawbone to prevent bone loss and facial collapse.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, there is another method to provide the much-needed stability to protect your jawbone.<\/p>\n
