No dentures are removable. A bridge is permanent and cannot be taken in and out like a denture. A bridge is typically three or more crowns connected. a crown (pontic) is used to replace the missing tooth, with crowns cemented to a tooth on both sides of the missing one.
Are dental bridges the same as dental dentures?
No bridges tend to be attached to other teeth and so can not be removed,http://www.mynewsmile.com/dental_bridge....
Reply:No a dental bridge is attached to other teeth maybe on either side of the bridge.
For example, I knocked out my right front tooth with a crowbar ( I know, it hurt) the dentist ground down the two teeth on either side to a point and then the bridge was cemented into those two teeth as something to connect to.
