Pontic

The artificial tooth suspended between the two anchor crowns (abutments) in a fixed dental bridge. It replaces the missing natural tooth.

Why It Matters

The design of the pontic affects your ability to clean. An "Ovate Pontic" sits in the gum like an egg (very aesthetic), while a "Sanitary Pontic" leaves a gap for easy flossing (used only on back teeth).
