What is a dental bridge?
It is a form of fixed tooth replacement by placing crowns on existing teeth on either side of the space and connect them together with a floating crown. This treatment would avoid needing to wear a removeable denture or needing sugery for a dental implant.
Are there any risks with dental bridges?
All treatments have disadvantages and risks. The risks associated with a dental bridge is that we would have to carry out treatment on your exisiting teeth to place crowns, meaning there is a 20% risk of irritating the nerve on those teeth, which may require root canal treatment. If one of the abutment teeth were to fail in the future, the entire bridge would fail.
