How many teeth can be in a bridge?
Dental bridges are a popular dental restoration option used to replace missing teeth. They are designed to bridge the gap created by one or more missing teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. A dental bridge consists of artificial teeth, known as pontics, which are anchored in place by dental crowns attached to the neighboring natural teeth or dental implants.
Dental bridges are commonly used when a patient has lost a tooth or multiple teeth. They help restore the ability to chew and speak properly, maintain proper alignment of the surrounding teeth, and prevent shifting and misalignment. Dental bridges can also enhance the appearance of the smile by filling in gaps and restoring a natural, complete look.
