Bridging the GapExploring Your Options in Porcelain Dental Bridges

There are several types of options for dental bridges in Houston at Sinada Dental. You and your dentist will discuss the best options for your particular case. The traditional bridge is the most popular type and is usually made of porcelain fused to metal. Porcelain fixed bridges are most popular because they resemble your natural teeth. This type of bridge consists of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth. Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years; however, they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear.

What does getting a fixed bridge involve?

Getting a fixed bridge typically takes two or more visits to the dentist. During the first visit, the teeth on either side of the gap (the anchor teeth) are numbed, and a small portion of the enamel is removed to make room for the crowns. Then, an impression of your teeth is taken, which is sent to a dental lab to create your custom bridge. In the meantime, you’ll wear a temporary bridge until your next appointment.

At the second visit, your dentist will carefully check the fit of your new permanent bridge, making adjustments if needed before securing it in place. Sometimes, the dentist may temporarily attach the bridge to give your teeth and gums time to adjust. Once everything feels right, the bridge will be permanently cemented. After the procedure, you’ll get detailed care instructions to help maintain your bridge. Proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups will keep your new bridge in top condition for years to come.
