A
bridge is a way to replace one or more missing teeth. Replacing
missing teeth makes it easier to chew. It can improve your appearance.
It also helps keep your teeth, gums, and jaws healthy.
Space left by missing teeth affect the rest of your teeth. These
gaps can cause chewing problems. If even one tooth is missing.
other teeth may slowly shift out of place. This changes the
way your teeth fit together (your bite). A poor bite may make
your jaw sore. Your teeth may become harder to clean, leading
to tooth decay and gum disease.
