Porcelain Bridges

Just as a sturdy bridge connects two points, porcelain bridges connect the gap in your smile with exceptional artistry and functionality. At Dental Wellness for Bartow, we offer porcelain bridges as a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth.

What Are Porcelain Bridges?

Porcelain bridges are dental prostheses designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of two main components: abutments and pontics. Abutments are placed over adjacent natural teeth or dental implants to anchor the bridge, while pontics are the artificial teeth that fill the gap.

Since porcelain mimics the appearance and translucency of tooth enamel, bridges blend with your real teeth, creating a beautiful and healthy smile. 

Benefits of Getting Porcelain Bridges

• Restore your smile's aesthetics and boost your confidence.
• Enhance your ability to chew and speak comfortably.
• Prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of position.
• Maintain the natural shape and alignment of your jaw.
• Distribute bite forces evenly across your teeth for better oral health.

How Do We Make Porcelain Bridges?

We will carefully evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable treatment plan for you. Then, she prepares adjacent teeth by removing a small amount of enamel to make room for the abutments.

Once your teeth are ready, she will take precise impressions of your teeth, which serve as the foundation for crafting your custom porcelain bridge. After we make your porcelain bridges, we will carefully position and adjust them to achieve optimal fit, function, and aesthetics. She will securely cement the artificial teeth into place, completing your smile restoration.

Are Porcelain Bridges Permanent?

Porcelain bridges are durable and long-lasting; however, you may need to replace them after five to ten years. Our team will check your oral health and the condition of your porcelain bridge during your visits and address any concerns. However, please book an appointment if your new teeth break, move, or cause discomfort.
