Adhesive Bridges

An adhesive bridge is a dental restoration that spans an area that has no teeth and is connected to natural teeth at each end, preserving form and original aesthetics. An adhesive bridge does not require any neighboring teeth to be trimmed down for a crown, the way a conventional fixed bridge does. An adhesive bridge is bonded to one or two teeth next to the gap.

The disadvantage with an adhesive bridge is that it will only work if there is enough room for the little metal bonding tag to fit behind the neighboring tooth when you bite down. An adhesive bridge is a good, lower cost alternative to a dental implant.
