If you are faced with tooth loss, crown and bridge treatment may be the best option for you. A bridge is a custom-made device anchored to neighboring natural teeth, which replaces one or more missing teeth. When a lost tooth is replaced with bridgework, the teeth on either side of the missing one are prepared as crowns to hold the bridge in place.

Bridges, sometimes referred to as a fixed partial denture, look natural and literally bridge the gap where on or more teeth may have been. Fixed bridges appear and function similar to natural teeth and remain in the mouth at all times. they can only be removed by your dentist.
