A dental bridge is a restoration that is supported by the teeth that are next to the gap. The pontics, or false teeth, are attached to crowns. Several types of bridges are available, including traditional bridges and implant bridges. In most cases, a bridge is designed to replace one or two teeth, and they are fixed firmly into place so that you will not need to remove them or worry about an unstable bite.
Dentures can replace several or all of your teeth. They consist of artificial teeth, which are attached to a gum-colored acrylic base. Traditional dentures are kept in place with suction or gravity. Implant-supported dentures are affixed to dental implants.
