This is a fixed dental bridge that is not removable like the facelift dentures.
Various terms are used by dentists to refer to the components and types of dental bridges:
Once the dental bridge process is done, you will be able to use the artificial teeth like normal teeth. The porcelain materials used to build the dental bridges look, feel and function just like genuine teeth. Using precision attachments, our dentists can also incorporate removable dental bridges.
