Bridge, Fixed
Replacing a missing tooth by placing at least two crowns on adjacent teeth and suspending a false tooth, or pontic, in between or cantilevered from one end. This restoration is cemented to your teeth and is not removable. It is carefully crafted for esthetics, fit, comfort, and cleansibility. Depending on the size and situation, the bridge may take from two to six visits to complete. A quality provisional (temporary) bridge will be in place in-between appointments.
