A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by joining an artificial tooth to adjacent teeth or implants. The artificial tooth, called a pontic, is usually made of porcelain, ceramic, or metal and is attached to crowns or wings that are cemented to the abutment teeth.
Dental bridges can be used to restore the function and appearance of missing teeth. They can also help to prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of position and can improve a person's bite.
