Tooth loss might happen. Fortunately, there are solutions to restore it, either by replacing the lost tooth with an implant or by placing a bridge.
The bridge utilizes the adjacent teeth as abutments, where crowns are placed and another crown is placed in between. The same principle is followed when more teeth are missing and more extensive bridges are made.
There are several types of bridges and all of them have advantages and disadvantages, which need to be discussed with your dentist.
Any prosthetic restoration should be integrated with the natural dentition and to make us feel comfortable. It requires the same care as natural teeth. Daily brushing, according to the doctor's instructions, reduces the growth of microbial plaque helping to prolong the life of a bright smile.
