Why would I want a fixed dental bridge?

Ronald Rosenblatt, DDS (General and Cosmetic Dentistry) gives expert video advice on: Why would I want a fixed dental bridge?; Will a dental bridge change the way I speak?; What are the risks associated with a dental bridge? and more...

The reason for placing a fixed dental bridge is because it stays in the mouth all the time. It is most like the way you were before you lost the teeth. You brush the teeth like you did before. You're able to run floss through the dental bridge by threading it through, and everything is pretty much the way it used to be. When you have a removable dental bridge, as opposed to a fixed bridge, it tends to trap food against the teeth very much and so you have to take it out to brush. With a fixed dental bridge, you brush it just like your normal teeth.
