Dental bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth. They "bridge" the gap created by missing teeth, restoring the ability to chew and speak properly.
There are different types of bridges, including traditional bridges (supported by adjacent natural teeth), cantilever bridges (supported by one adjacent tooth), and implant-supported bridges (anchored to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone).
With proper care and maintenance, dental bridges can last for many years, often a decade or more. Regular check-ups with a dentist are essential to ensure their longevity.
Crowns (caps) are known for their durability and strength, and they can withstand the forces of biting and chewing. This makes them a long-lasting solution for damaged teeth.

The concept of dental bridges dates back to ancient Egypt, where they used gold wire to stabilize and replace missing teeth.
Dental crowns can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or even longer with proper care. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor their condition.
