You may be a good candidate if you:

Dental bridges offer several advantages, including:

• Taking impressions of your mouth to design your custom bridge.

• Placing a temporary bridge while your permanent one is made.

• Porcelain fused to metal (for added strength)

• Gold or metal alloys (for durability, often used for back teeth)
