Dental Bridges Dental bridges are prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth. The bridge is anchored by crowns placed on the adjacent teeth and consists of artificial teeth that fill the gap. The procedure involves preparing the adjacent teeth by removing some enamel to make room for the crowns, taking impressions for the bridge, and finally cementing the permanent bridge in place.
