A bridge is a restoration that is anchored to neighboring teeth and replaces one or more missing teeth.  When a lost tooth is replaced with bridgework, the teeth on either side of the missing one are prepared as crowns to serve as abutments to hold the prosthetic (replacement) tooth in place.  Crowns and bridges are most commonly prepared from high quality materials such as semiprecious or precious metals, porcelain, or a fused combination of the two.  Aesthetics, function, and tissue compatibility are considered when selecting the material most suitable for you.
