Dental bridges literally bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth. A bridge is made up of two crowns for the teeth on either side of the gap. These two anchoring teeth are called abutment teeth and hold the false tooth/teeth in between. These false teeth are called pontics and can be made from gold, alloys, porcelain, zirconia or a combination of these materials. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants. Prices are per unit and depend on the material used.
