Dental Bridge: is a fixed prosthetic work that replaces one or more missing teeth and is supported on two at least adjacent natural teeth
In more extended dental bridges can be made according to the number of the teeth that they have been removed and the teeth that the will be used as supported teeth
The dental bridges are firmly cemented to the natural teeth, unlike with removable dentures, which are removed and replace to the mouth by the patient himself

Cost of a dental bridge :
The cost of a bridge is variable and depends on the type of bridge, the metal alloy, the kind of the porcelain, the technique to be applied, the possible placement of temporary bridge and the laboratory level that it will be construct the dental bridge
The total cost will increase further if the tooth that is to receive the bridge need additional therapy (eg endodontic treatment, fillings, fiber post etc.) Finally, the cost depends on the number of teeth that should be covered
