Explanation

In the context of medicine, "bridges" often refers to dental bridges, which are false teeth used to replace one or more missing teeth. They are anchored in place by the teeth on either side of the gap, which are usually prepared with crowns to provide support. Dental bridges can help improve a person's ability to chew and speak, and they also maintain the shape of the face by preventing the remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
