The replacement teeth are known as pontics or ‘false’ teeth and are fixed to natural teeth or implants either side of the gap, known as abutments. • They can restore your smile • They can restore function so you can chew properly • They can prevent other remaining teeth from drifting out of position Conventional fixed bridges are the most common and involve fusing a pontic or false tooth to crowns cemented to natural teeth or implants either side of the gap. They can be made of porcelain, usually bonded to metal, or entirely of metal, usually gold. The adjacent natural teeth are prepared like a crown preparation and a temporary bridge is usually fitted while the laboratory constructs the new bridge.
