A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (pontics) to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Chinese dental labs produce high-quality porcelain and zirconia bridges using CAD/CAM technology at remarkably affordable prices. Most bridges can be completed in just 2-3 visits over one week, making it ideal for dental tourists.
