What is it?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by linking artificial teeth (pontics) to crowns on neighbouring abutments—or to implants. Dr. RV Roshini plans bridge cases for strength, hygiene access, and aesthetics.
Who needs it?

Symptoms

Benefits

- Restores smile continuity

Bridge or implant—which should I choose?
