A fixed (non-removable) bridge is designed to replace teeth that have been lost by using the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth space as anchors by crowning to hold a porcelain floating tooth that appears too naturally erupt from the gum.
Besides serving to restore the appearance and performance of a complete smile, a fixed bridge also prevents teeth that are adjacent to or opposite the missing tooth area from moving/shifting to protect the integrity of the the patient’s bite. Fixed bridges are strong, durable and natural looking restorations, which once they are permanently cemented into place allow normal oral function.
