or missing teeth? To regain your missing tooth, you have multiple options including
dental bridges.
A dental bridge is an affordable, time-tested, and low-risk treatment for missing

materials such as gold, typically they’re made from porcelain to aesthetically blend

tooth. Cantilever bridge is not very common as Traditional dental bridge anymore

on other teeth and damage them.

tooth on each side of the gap caused by the missing tooth or teeth. Maryland

metal or plastic teeth and gums supported by a metal or porcelain framework.
