Bridges
Another option for replacing missing teeth is with dental bridges. These require that you have teeth on each side of the missing tooth or teeth. Think of dental bridges as multiple crowns that are joined together at the hips. Bridges brace upon your existing healthy teeth to replace the areas of missing teeth. Because bridges require placing crowns on adjacent teeth and extra flossing steps to keep the area clean, they are generally not as preferred as dental implants.
