A tooth extraction is simply the pulling of a tooth.
A dental bridge is a false tooth, which is fused between two porcelain crowns to fill in the area left by a missing tooth. The two crowns holding it in place that are attached onto your teeth on each side of the false tooth. It isnt removeable.

DEBORAH,
AN EXTRACTION SIMPLY MEANS PULLING OUT A TOOTH. A BRIDGE IS A WAY TO REPLACE A TOOTH THAT WAS EXTRACTED. THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF BRIDGES AND THE TOOTH IN FRONT OF, AND THE ONE IN BEHIND THE EXTRACTED TOOTH WOULD BE WHAT THE BRIDGE IS ANCHORED TO.
