Dental bridges are a way to fill in a gap from a missing tooth. They use your existing teeth to create a bridge with a new tooth in the middle. The bridge can be made of different materials to be strong.
First, they shape your existing teeth to hold the bridge, then take a mold to make a custom-fit bridge. While you wait for the real bridge, you get a temporary one to protect your teeth and look better than having a gap. When the real bridge is ready, they stick it in with adhesive.
At first, the bridge might feel weird, but after a few days, it should feel normal. You eat soft foods for a bit, then you can eat anything without a problem. If you’re missing a tooth, getting a bridge is a good idea to keep your smile looking good and avoid other issues.
