Answer Key

- True. We create a dental bridge using lifelike dental materials. Once in place your new teeth will blend seamlessly with your smile. We will also design the new teeth based on impressions taken of your teeth.
- True. At a dental lab the replacement teeth will be created with a crown attached to each end. We prepare the teeth on either side of the gap in your smile and place the crowns onto them. The crowns anchor your new teeth firmly into place.
- True. A dental bridge replaces one or more teeth in a row. With proper care they can last up to 15 years. To better care for your replacement teeth always brush and loss regularly. You also need to have your prosthesis examined by a dental professional during a routine checkup.
