Porcelain Fixed Bridges
At Dental Esthetics Boston, a premier dentist in Boston, we proudly offer fixed porcelain dental bridges as a permanent and esthetic solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. A porcelain dental bridge “bridges the gap” between your natural teeth, restoring both function and beauty to your smile with seamless, long-lasting results.
​
A porcelain fixed bridge typically restores one missing tooth and serves as a lifelike, non-surgical alternative to a dental implant. This restoration consists of two porcelain crowns—placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth)—fused to a custom-made porcelain pontic (false tooth) that fills the space of the missing tooth. As an experienced Boston dentist, we ensure that your dental bridge matches your natural teeth in color, contour, and fit for a flawless restoration.
​
Porcelain dental bridges are highly durable, and with proper care and regular visits to your dentist in Boston, they can last approximately 10 years or more. They offer a functional and esthetic solution for patients who may not be candidates for implants or who are looking for a quicker, more conservative treatment option.
​
Some of the benefits of choosing a porcelain dental bridge from Dental Esthetics Boston include:
​
-
Restoring the appearance of your smile by filling gaps caused by missing teeth
-
Supporting facial structure and preventing the sunken appearance that can occur from tooth loss
-
Preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of alignment
-
Improving your ability to chew, speak, and function comfortably and naturally
-
Providing a stable, non-removable restoration that looks and feels like your real teeth
​
The bridge placement process usually requires two or more appointments. During your first visit, our skilled Prosthodontists will prepare the abutment teeth by reshaping them to allow space for the crowns. Next, we’ll take highly accurate digital or physical impressions, which will be sent to a leading dental laboratory for the custom fabrication of your bridge. While your permanent bridge is being crafted, a temporary bridge will be placed to protect your teeth and maintain aesthetics.
​
At your second visit, your custom porcelain bridge will be carefully fitted, adjusted for comfort, and cemented into place. In some cases, we use temporary cement first to allow your mouth to adapt to the restoration before final placement. Permanent cementation is completed at a follow-up appointment for long-term success.
