If you are missing teeth and looking for a solution to restore your smile, a porcelain dental bridge may be an excellent option for you. Porcelain dental bridges are fixed (nonremovable) restorations designed to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. This durable restoration helps fill the gap left by missing teeth, ensuring a seamless appearance and restoring functionality to your smile.
Porcelain is a popular material for dental bridges because of its natural look and durability. It closely mimics the color and translucency of natural tooth enamel, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a restoration that blends with the rest of their teeth. In addition, porcelain bridges are custom-made to fit your unique dental structure, ensuring a comfortable and precise fit.
The placement of a porcelain dental bridge typically involves two visits to our office. During the first appointment, Dr. Tommy Mainieri will prepare the adjacent teeth by shaping them to accommodate the crowns that will support the bridge. Impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom bridge, and a temporary bridge may be placed to protect the area. At your second visit, the permanent porcelain bridge will be carefully fitted and secured, restoring your smile and bite.
A porcelain dental bridge not only improves the appearance of your smile but also offers several functional benefits. It allows you to speak clearly, chew properly and prevents the shifting of your remaining teeth, which can lead to further dental complications. Additionally, a bridge helps maintain the natural shape of your face, preventing the sunken appearance that can result from tooth loss.
