Whenever people ask me how to fix a tooth without drilling screws into the jawbone I first bring up the dental bridge.
How does a bridge stay glued in place?
A bridge does not come out. Your dentist glues the replacement tooth between two caps that slide over the teeth next, to the missing spot. You cannot pull a bridge out before bed. A bridge will not slip loose while you chat with friends.
How do you clean around the tooth?
The ceramic bridge itself cannot get a cavity. The natural anchor teeth underneath definitely can. Skipping cleaning lets curry sauce and sticky bread crumbs rot the real tooth roots hidden under the porcelain caps.
