Bridges are a way to replace a missing tooth or teeth without the need for an implant. Bridges are false teeth anchored in place by neighbouring teeth. The bridge consists of one or two crowns with a false tooth/tooth next to, or at its centre.

A prosthodontist may recommend a bridge as a treatment option to:

• Replace one or more missing teeth.
• Fill gaps caused by missing teeth and
• Prevent remaining teeth from moving into empty spaces.
