Porcelain Fixed Bridges
You don’t have to live with a gap in your smile. You can get rid of it using porcelain-fixed bridges. These permanent dental appliances are placed on neighboring teeth, enabling you to chew normally again without any problems or misalignment appearing later down the road.
What is a Fixed Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance designed to replace missing teeth.
Reasons For a Fixed Bridge:
- Restore your smile
- fill space for missing teeth
- Prevent teeth from drifting out of position
- Maintain facial shape
- Restore chewing and ability to speak
What to Expect When Receiving a Fixed Bridge:
A bridge is a dental prosthetic that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. Getting a bridge usually requires two or more visits to the dentist. The first visit will involve numbing your teeth and making sure you are comfortable. The dentist will then prepare the anchor teeth by removing a portion of enamel to allow for a crown. Next, a highly accurate impression (mold) will be made which will be sent to a dental laboratory where the crowns will be fabricated. Once the bridge is ready, you will return to the dentist to have it fitted and bonded in place. With proper care, your new bridge can last for many years.
