Porcelain Bridges
Every time you drive over a bridge, you are backed by the same principles that support a dental bridge. You ask how? The crowned teeth on either side of a space, called abutments, hold an artificial tooth called a pontic.
Often, a bridge lasts for many years. However, sometimes the strain of supporting one or more missing teeth can weaken the abutments and direct to the loss of more teeth.

Dental implants are often considered as a more valid alternative, as they eliminate most of the load-bearing pressure on traditional bridge abutments. When precisely placed on the bone, an implant acts exactly like the root of a tooth. It eases to bear the load that the natural teeth used to hold, avoiding neighboring teeth from extreme pressure. In many cases, two implants are used to establish a bridge.
