Porcelain Fixed Bridges

At Restore Dental Studio in Mount Prospect, Illinois, we offer porcelain fixed bridges as an elegant and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Our commitment to blending functionality with aesthetics ensures that each bridge we create not only restores your dental health but also enhances the natural beauty of your smile.

Understanding Porcelain Fixed Bridges: A porcelain fixed bridge is a dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of one or more artificial teeth, known as pontics, anchored in place by dental crowns attached to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. Porcelain, known for its durability and natural appearance, is the material of choice for these bridges, providing a seamless integration with your existing teeth.

The Benefits of Porcelain Fixed Bridges: Porcelain fixed bridges offer several advantages:

• Aesthetic Appeal: They are crafted to mimic the look and feel of your natural teeth, providing a restoration that is virtually indistinguishable from your natural smile.
• Functional Restoration: Bridges restore the functionality of your missing teeth, allowing you to eat and speak with ease.
• Prevention of Dental Shifts: By filling the gap left by missing teeth, bridges prevent the remaining teeth from shifting, which could lead to bite problems or jaw discomfort.
• Long-Term Solution: With proper care, porcelain fixed bridges can be a durable, long-lasting solution for missing teeth.

The Process of Getting a Porcelain Fixed Bridge: The process typically involves two or more visits. During the first visit, the teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared for crowns, and an impression of your teeth is taken to create a custom bridge. A temporary bridge is placed while your custom bridge is being made. On a subsequent visit, the temporary bridge is removed, and the new porcelain fixed bridge is adjusted, fitted, and cemented into place.

Personalized Treatment and Care: At Restore Dental Studio, Dr. Josephine Puleo and our team take great care to ensure that your porcelain fixed bridge is crafted and placed with the utmost precision. We work closely with you to match the color, shape, and size of the bridge to your natural teeth, ensuring a result that meets your functional needs and aesthetic desires.

Maintaining Your Porcelain Fixed Bridge: We provide you with detailed care instructions to ensure the longevity of your bridge. Good oral hygiene, along with regular dental checkups, will help keep your bridge and surrounding teeth healthy.
