	Restorative Dentistry...Bridges (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		When there has been the loss of a tooth or teeth and there is a tooth on either side of the open space, replacement teeth can be attached to two crowns constructed for the 2 teeth on either side of the open space.
		To prepare a bridge, diagnostic models are taken to study the optimum way to perform this procedure.
		Impressions are taken and from these impressions, the bridge is made by a certified dental technician.

	Cosmetic Dentistry - Yorktown Heights, NY \| Dental Bridge
		A fixed bridge will not only replace missing teeth, but it will also help create a normal bite, prevent stress on the dental ridge, eliminate over eruption of opposing teeth, prevent the drifting and tilt of adjacent teeth, inhibit decay in abnormal areas, and slow the onset of periodontal disease.
		Fixed bridges are applied by either placing crowns on the abutment teeth or by bonding the artificial teeth directly to the abutment teeth.
		Since the bridge must be fabricated very precisely to ensure correct bite and to match the opposing tooth, impressions of the teeth are taken and sent to a lab where the bridge will be constructed.

		When two or three adjacent teeth are missing, a bridge may be the treatment of choice depending on the condition of the teeth next to the space and the bone supporting these teeth.

		A bridge is usually used where there are fewer teeth to replace, or when the missing teeth are only on one side of the mouth.
		A bridge uses the considerable skill of the dentist and technician, and in this way, it's similar to ordering a piece of hand-made jewellery.
		The materials are also expensive so it's fair to say a bridge will not be the cheapest treatment you have ever had.
