Permanent
Fixed Bridge
A
Permanent Bridge replaces one or more missing teeth. A Bridge
will:
- Keep
teeth from drifting into the space created from a missing
tooth
- Help
preserve normal function and normal bite for the jaw joint
A
Permanent Bridge is usually anchored to the teeth on both
sides of the space from the missing tooth. This gives the
bridge strong support. Brushing a bridge is no different than
brushing natural teeth, but special flossing instructions
are given to keep the bridge and surrounding tissue healthy.

A Permanent
Bridge is permanently bonded in place, unlike a Partial Denture
(sometimes called a "Removable
Bridge"), which is removable.
