A bridge is a tooth-like structure that is designed to fill a gap caused by a missing or extracted tooth. Dental bridges span the space as they are fixed to the natural teeth, which act as anchors. The dental bridge procedure in India involves cementing a bridge –
- To the crowns on either side of the gap
- To implants in the gum, wherever the gap is.
Generally, a tooth gap, which if left unattended, can eventually lead the other teeth to shift or turn into space. This can result in a bad bite that can affect speech, cause recurring biting of the inner cheek, and lead to breathing through the mouth instead of the nose. Therefore, to replace the missing teeth and fill the gap, you will require a dental bridge that will strengthen your tooth’s performance and get the best
