Where on your body would you find a bridge?
The "bridge of the nose" (sometimes called the nasal bridge)
consists of the two nasal bones, left and right, at the very top of
the nose.
If you have missing teeth, you could also find a "bridge" in
your mouth. A dental bridge is an artificial tooth (or teeth)
supported by existing teeth on either side, or alternatively, by
dental implants.

What is the feature of fixed-fixed bridge?
A fixed bridge is a Dental Prosthetic which uses two good teeth,
one on each sides of the space, to support the prosthetic. This
type of bridge is permenant and can not made to be removed, thus
the word fixed bridge. The bridge can span over large spaces
replacing various teeth. Care must be taken in cleaning a small
space above the area of missing teeth on the bridge. A partial
bridge is another way to replace missing teeth, but this is the
kind that can be removed

Asked in Oral Health and Dental Care
When a temporary bridge falls out wny do the abutment teeth hurt so much?
The abutment teeth have been prepped (cut down and shaped) to
receive the permanent bridge. They are sensitive because they are
not supposed to be exposed to the environment as they are. Return
to your dentist as soon as possible and have the temporary bridge
re-cemented.
This is important: The temporary bridge not only protects those
preps, it also holds them in place until the permanent bridge is
placed. If the teeth shift, even a little, because the temporary
bridge is missing, the permanent bridge will not fit! New
impressions will have to be taken and another bridge will have to
be made.

What is the feature of fixed-moveable bridge?
There is no such thing as fixed-moveable bridge in dental care.
There is, however, a fixed bridge that is used in dental care. This
is a prosthetic device that is used to replace one or more teeth
that are missing in the human mouth. A fixed bridge attaches to
teeth that are positioned on opposite ends.

What are opinions on which is better for a missing tooth an implant or a bridge?
An implant by far is the best way to go. A bridge involves the
shaving down of good teeth to help abut the missing tooth. Bridges
are o.k. but they are not as permanent as an implant. There is also
alot of maintenance hygienically with the bridge as opposed to the
implant. An implant is better, unless the adjacent teeth need
crowns, a bridge can act as crowns for the adjacent teeth, while it
replaces the missing tooth.
