Bridges
Bridges are constructed to replace a missing tooth as an alternative to a denture. There are two basic types of bridge:-

Conventional Bridges
One or more adjacent teeth are prepared as if being crowned. The laboratory fixes a colour matched artificial tooth to the crown or crowns during construction, and the whole structure is then cemented permanently in one piece.

Adhesive Bridges
A colour matched porcelain tooth is constructed with alloy wings extended from the tooth. These wings are cemented behind the adjacent teeth holding the new tooth in place.
