Introduction to Bridges Provided by Dr. Alvarez
A dental bridge is often a great method to replace missing teeth. There are several different types of bridges, and Dr. Alvarez can help you decide which is best for you during your visit to our Fremont, CA dental office. The most traditional type of bridges is typically made of porcelain dental material, which comprises the crowns and is fused to a metal frame. The crowns replace the missing teeth, and the metal portion of the bridge fits snugly over anchoring abutment teeth on each side of the appliance. Some bridges are fixed (non-removable), while others can be removed by the patient.
Dental bridges are quite strong and will typically last for many years, although they may need to be replaced or repaired eventually due to normal wear and tear.
How to Know if You’re a Candidate for a Bridge
