Bridges are usually made of a precious metal base, which gives them a solid structure and makes them hard-wearing. If you need a bridge in your smile line, porcelain is usually added to the base to make it look more like real teeth. A bridge helps to strengthen the prepared teeth and makes chewing and eating easier because they are fixed and can’t come out.
Some bridges can also be fixed to your jaw with dental implants if you have several missing teeth next to each other.
Once you have a bridge fitted, you will have to take extra care of your daily hygiene regime to ensure it stays plaque-free and that you can prevent bad breath.
