Why should I get a bridge?
Dec 21st, 2008 by Dr. Kourosh Maddahi DDS
Dental bridges are useful for keeping the remaining teeth surrounding the gap in place. This is important, because when you lose even one tooth, the surrounding teeth have a tendency to move.
This movement can lead to:
•   Changes in your bite (the way your teeth fit together)
•   Jaw pain and headaches caused by bite misalignment
•   Decay or loss of surrounding healthy teeth
