Fixed Bridgework
Fixed bridges anchor artificial teeth to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. The procedure involves careful preparation of the adjacent teeth, followed by the creation and placement of the bridge, resulting in a seamless and functional replacement for missing teeth. This treatment suits individuals looking to regain confident smiles and improve oral function without needing removable dental appliances. A fixed bridge can offer you the stability and comfort required to enjoy your daily activities and maintain proper oral health, whether you have one or multiple missing teeth.
