How a Porcelain Bridge Works
A dental bridge “bridges” the gap left by a missing tooth using an artificial tooth (pontic) supported by crowns on the adjacent teeth (abutments).
Porcelain bridges are custom-made to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and long-lasting restoration.
The Bridge Procedure: What to Expect
- Evaluation & Planning: Dr. Kenneth Vandervoort, DMD evaluates your oral health and discusses the best treatment options.
- Tooth Preparation: The supporting teeth are shaped to securely anchor the bridge.
- Digital Impressions: Precise scans are taken and sent to a trusted lab to craft your custom bridge.
- Temporary Bridge: A temporary restoration protects your teeth while the final bridge is created.
- Final Placement: Your custom bridge is adjusted for fit and bite, then permanently placed for a secure, natural feel.
Care & Longevity
With proper care — including daily brushing, flossing, and routine dental visits — a porcelain bridge can provide many years of reliable function and a natural appearance. We’ll also guide you on proper cleaning techniques to protect your restoration.
Bridges vs. Dental Implants
Dental implants are another excellent option for replacing missing teeth and do not rely on neighboring teeth for support. During your consultation, we’ll compare bridges and implants to help you choose the best solution based on your goals, budget, and oral health.
