Porcelain Bridge (Zirconia)
Porcelain bridges made with zirconia offer a strong, natural-looking solution for patients with missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics to the smile.
What is a Zirconia Porcelain Bridge?
A porcelain bridge with zirconia is a dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of a series of connected porcelain crowns supported by a zirconia framework, creating a seamless bridge between natural teeth.
Advantages of Zirconia Porcelain Bridge:
Natural Appearance: Porcelain closely mimics the appearance of natural teeth, providing a beautiful and seamless smile.
Strength and Durability: Zirconia is a strong and durable material, ensuring the bridge can withstand the forces of chewing and biting.
Biocompatibility: Zirconia is biocompatible and hypoallergenic, making it safe for patients with metal sensitivities.
Preservation of Adjacent Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges that require neighboring teeth to be shaved down for support, a porcelain bridge zirconia is supported by the framework, preserving the integrity of adjacent teeth.
Comfortable Fit: The bridge is custom-made to fit the patient's mouth, providing a comfortable and secure restoration.
Improved Function: Patients can regain the ability to chew and speak properly with a porcelain bridge zirconia, enhancing overall oral function.
Longevity: With proper care, a porcelain bridge zirconia can last for many years, providing a long-term solution for missing teeth.
Procedure for Zirconia Porcelain Bridge:
The process of getting a porcelain bridge with zirconia typically involves:
Consultation and examination to assess the patient's oral health and discuss treatment options.
Preparation of the abutment teeth (the teeth adjacent to the gap) to make room for the bridge.
Digital scans of the prepared teeth to create a custom bridge that fits precisely.
Temporary bridge placement while the permanent bridge is being fabricated.
Final placement of the porcelain bridge zirconia, ensuring proper fit, function, and aesthetics.
