Answers:
A good bridge is hard, if not impossible, to detect!. They look like your own teeth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
No, it's not like a denture, because it's permanantly bonded to the the teeth on either side if it!. If you lose a tooth, you can have an implant, which is basically a tooth that is cemented into a hole that is drilled into your bone!. This works better for lower teeth rather than upper teeth!.
If you lose an upper tooth, they will grind down the teeth on either side of the missing tooth and create a row of 3 teeth!. Them middle tooth will be a solid tooth to replace the missing tooth, and the teeth on either side of it will be hollow, to go over the ground down teeth!. These are cemented to the ground down teeth, creating a "bridge" between the 2 ground down teeth!. Basically all three teeth are "fake", but are not considered dentures, since you can't remove them!.
As to whether it will look like the original tooth depends on how good your dentist is!. If you're not sure, look around for a dentist who specializes in cosmetic dentistry!. A lot of dentists will say they can do it, because there's a lot of money in cosmetic dentristry, but for it to look really good, you should try to find someone who does primarily that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
