A dental bridge is a solution for taking the place of a missing tooth, which involves fitting crowns on the neighboring teeth (called abutment teeth) to support a prosthetic tooth that occupies the space left by the missing one.
With the right type of oral hygiene and routine dental care, bridges often last many years, although longevity depends on factors such as bite forces and overall oral health.
Daily brushing, flossing with bridge-specific cleaning aids, and routine dental checkups are important to maintain the health of the bridge and surrounding teeth.
