Both dental bridges and partial dentures replace missing teeth by spanning the gap between the remaining natural teeth. The main difference is that a bridge is permanently attached to the anchor teeth via dental crowns, while a partial denture is removable. The denture rests on the teeth with the help of metal clasps. Additionally, the partial will normally include some pink acrylic material that helps it look like there are gums around the false teeth while a bridge simply hovers over your natural gums.
