Porcelain Bridges
Porcelain bridges are commonly used to restore the function and appearance of a patient’s smile. They are most often used when one or more teeth are missing. The bridge literally “bridges” the gap created by the missing tooth or teeth.
Porcelain bridges are made up of two main parts: the pontic, which is the false tooth (or teeth) that fills the gap, and the abutments, which are the supporting structures that hold the pontic in place. Porcelain bridges can be supported by either natural teeth or implants.
There are many benefits of porcelain bridges. In addition to restoring chewing function and improving appearance, porcelain bridges can also help prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place. This is because the pontic essentially takes the place of the missing tooth or teeth, providing support and stability for the surrounding teeth.
Porcelain bridges offer a great opportunity to fix any imperfections in your smile. Whether it is an emergency or something that has been needed for a while, it may be worth it to take a look at getting the procedure done.
Here To Restore Your Smile
The thought of having a bridge for your teeth may be a little unnerving, but it doesn’t have to be. Here at Dentistry For You Lenexa, we understand that porcelain bridges are an excellent way to restore your smile if you have one or more missing teeth. They offer many benefits, including:
- Porcelain bridges can closely match the color of your natural teeth, making them virtually indistinguishable from your real teeth.
- Bridges can help to prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place, which can lead to further tooth loss or difficulty chewing and speaking.
- Bridges can help restore your ability to chew and speak properly.
- Porcelain bridges are durable and can last for many years with proper care.
One of the best things about porcelain bridges is that they’re virtually indistinguishable from your natural teeth. This means that nobody will be able to tell that you’ve had work done unless you choose to tell them!
