This false tooth is called pontic in term of cosmetic dentistry. Pontic is made up of porcelain or other metals like gold etc… This pontic filled the gap of missing tooth with the help of two (2) crowns. This process is called traditional fixed bridge. Same treatment is named as Maryland-bonded bridges if front tooth is missing and surrounding teeth are strong enough to support crowns.
