Bridges can last for many years if they are cared for properly. However, they can fail, usually due to decay of the natural teeth next to them, or failure of the cement.
The process of creating a bridge begins by creating abutments out of your existing teeth where the bridge will be attached. After the abutments have been created, a mould is taken of the area and sent to a dental lab. The lab develop a bridge by using the mould that will fit properly and feel as close to your natural teeth as possible.
Unlike dentures that have to be taken out nightly and can be a hassle to clean, bridges are permanent fixtures in the mouth that replace lost teeth.
