A dental bridge is a more traditional technique that utilises the teeth either side of a space to support a fixed appliance.
While dental implants are the best option these days in most instances, there is definitely still a place for this technique in modern dentistry.

Currently, the most common use for a bridge is to replace a single tooth, where the teeth either side of the space also warrant stabilisation and protection with crowns. After these supporting teeth are prepared for crowns, the laboratory produces a device whereby these crowns are fused together with a false tooth (pontic) joining them. The bridge is then cemented as one unit, giving you back a smile with no gaps.
