Bridges
When there is a space between teeth where a tooth has been lost, the adjacent and opposing teeth may begin to shift, rotate, or super-erupt. The best course of action is to fill this space to prevent these occurrences. One way to do this is with a fixed bridge. The teeth on either side of the space are shaped for crowns, and a single piece bridge (that looks like multiple teeth) is then permanently cemented to the abutment teeth.
