What patients should understand
Dental bridges may use natural teeth or implants for support. A bridge and a removable prosthesis differ in support, preparation, daily cleaning and repair expectations.
Before selecting treatment
Ask which supporting teeth or implants are required, what the alternatives are, and how the restoration would be maintained. Confirm whether temporary and final work are both included in the written estimate.
