Porcelain Fixed Bridges: Everything You Need to Know

A dental bridge is a fixed appliance that bridges gaps left by one or more missing teeth. These non-removable bridges work to restore the natural smile of your teeth. At Implant and Comprehensive Dentistry, we offer several types of dental bridges to our patients in Champions Gate and Winter Haven, Florida. Porcelain fixed bridges are one of them.

What do Porcelain Fixed Bridges Do? 

• Fills the gap left by missing teeth thus restoring your beautiful smile
• Offers support to facial tissues helping you to maintain a youthful look
• They help prevent the remaining teeth in your mouth from shifting
• Help restore the ability to speak and chew naturally
• Replaces temporary dental bridges

Advantages of Porcelain Fixed Bridges

Porcelain fixed bridges are the most popular among our patients for many reasons. For instance, they aesthetically blend in well with your natural teeth. Another advantage of these kinds of bridges is that they are highly durable. This means they can last for more than a decade with proper care and maintenance. Last but not least, this kind of dental bridge remains intact in their position even when you are eating, sleeping, or speaking.

How do Porcelain Fixed Bridges Work?

A porcelain bridge comprises of an artificial tooth commonly known as a pontic. This artificial tooth is integrated between dental crowns and then fixed to the missing teeth on either side of the gap. Once these kinds of bridges are fixed, they cannot be taken out of your mouth. They remain there even when you are sleeping, speaking, or eating.

What Does Getting a Porcelain Fixed Bridge With Us Involve?

When you contact our dentists at Implant and Comprehensive Dentistry, they use the finest materials and latest technology to create high-quality porcelain fixed bridges. Those bridges are then carefully fixed, adjusted, and permanently cemented into place. Our target is to offer dental bridges that offer superior function, fit, and aesthetics.

Once the bridges have been fixed, our dentists also provide instructions on how to take care and maintain your bridges. Just like the way you take care of your natural teeth, fixed dental bridges also requires good eating habits, proper oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist.
