A fixed bridge is an appliance made of a metal alloy covered with porcelain. They can also be made of high-strength porcelain. They are used to replace missing teeth in the most natural way possible. This procedure usually takes a few appointments at our local Ipswich surgery to complete and is very similar to having a crown placed on a tooth.
Sometimes called a fixed partial denture, a bridge replaces missing teeth with artificial teeth, looks great, and literally bridges the gap where one or more teeth may have been. Unlike a removable bridge, which you can take out and clean, a fixed bridge is not usually removed.
