If you have a missing tooth or a group of adjacent missing teeth, dental bridges can help conceal, fix, and fill in the empty gap with false teeth. Dental bridges can replace one single tooth or multiple teeth and are made up of two main parts: the pontic and the crown. The pontic is the actual false tooth or set of false teeth that will take place of the missing tooth. The crown or crowns — depending on your dental needs — are located to the left and right of the false tooth.
