good to know
How is a bridge supported?
Support may come from surrounding teeth or implants, depending on the bridge design. Your dentist will explain the proposed option.
Is a bridge the same as a removable denture?
No. A fixed bridge is secured in place and is removed by a dentist. Ask which type is being recommended.
