Porcelain bridges are dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth, effectively bridging the gap. This treatment option involves creating a natural-looking artificial tooth (or teeth), known as pontics, which are held in place by porcelain crowns attached to the adjacent teeth. This restoration process is both aesthetic and functional, helping to restore your smile and the strength of your bite.
Porcelain bridges can treat a variety of dental conditions, from replacing missing teeth to addressing issues of teeth misalignment or bite dysfunction. They are typically recommended for individuals with one or more missing teeth who have strong, healthy teeth on either side of the gap to support the bridge. A positive impact is immediately noticeable after the treatment, resulting in a more attractive appearance and improved functionality. The lifespan of porcelain bridges can vary, but with regular dental exams and proper oral hygiene, they can last up to 15 years or even longer.
