Dental bridges don't replace the root of a missing tooth, but they do bridge the gap between two teeth Fixed bridges require the teeth on either side of the bridge to be filed down, in preparation to be bonded to them. Bridges look like natural teeth and aren't removable, which is good. However, they don't replace teeth roots, and they require two healthy teeth to be trimmed down, which is why they aren't considered to be quite as quality an option as implants. Implants become a permanent part of your jaw through a process called osseointegration, wherein the dental implant fuses with your natural bone and hence last a lifetime. However, the crown will likely need to be replaced between 10 and 15 years, just like with a bridge.
