A fixed dental bridge is a dental appliance that replaces one or more natural missing teeth, thereby "bridging" the space between two teeth.
Fixed dental bridges are cemented into place next to the ( abutment teeth) surrounding teeth on either side of the space. Unlike removable partial dentures, fixed bridges cannot be taken out of the mouth by the patient.
A fixed dental bridge is a device that typically consists of three units, (a pontic) a false tooth fused between two crowns that are cemented onto the abutment teeth. Fixed dental bridges are made of metal and porcelain or sometimes just porcelain.
