Treatment of a dental bridge involves creating multiple crowns combined. The crowns are attached to the original teeth on either side. Because a complete set of teeth is compatible with each other, when a tooth is lost, the structure and appearance of surrounding teeth are affected over time. For example, if a tooth is missing in the lower jaw, the corresponding upper tooth may tend to fall. Healthy teeth adjacent to the missing one may lean towards the cavity impairing the patient's ability to chew properly. In time this causes major distortions in the configuration of the teeth. Dental bridges are very important to maintain structural integrity in the mouth.
