The loss of a single tooth can have a major impact on your dental health and personal appearance. Your teeth support and rely on each other.

When one or more teeth are missing, the remaining teeth can shift out of their normal position. Teeth adjacent to the space or from the opposite jaw will often drift or tilt. These teeth are often more susceptible to decay or gum disease because they are more difficult to clean around.
All of this shifting and drifting will lead to changes in the bite, which may put stress on the jaws, muscles and teeth. Ultimately, your ability to chew comfortably and your appearance may be affected.

A non-removable bridge can restore your teeth to normal function by replacing missing teeth. It will improve the entire health of your mouth by keeping the surrounding teeth in position and can also help maintain the structure of your face and jaw.
There are two types of bridges; a fixed bridge and a bonded bridge. A fixed bridge is connected to crowns on the neighboring teeth. A bonded bridge is connected with an adhesive wing to neighboring teeth. A combination of a fixed and bonded bridge will often be used together. The use or selection of one procedure over the other is dependent on your individual situation.
