Porcelain Fixed Bridges Gardena, CA

Missing teeth can have long-term effects on your oral health, so it’s important to take action to replace them and prevent more severe dental issues from occurring in the future.

Porcelain fixed bridges are one of the best, and most popular, restorative treatment options for replacing one or more missing teeth for a smile you’ll always want to show off.

What Is a Porcelain Fixed Bridge?

A porcelain fixed bridge is a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. Made from porcelain material and attached to metal, this type of fixed bridge consists of one or more false teeth (the bridge or pontic) in between two or more crowns (the anchor or abutments) and attaches to dental implants or your natural teeth.

Porcelain fixed bridges are custom-made and have the color of real teeth, making them the go-to option for patients who want a smile that looks and feels very natural.

What Types of Porcelain Fixed Bridges Are Available?

There are three types of porcelain fixed bridges – traditional, Cantilever and Maryland bonded bridges.

What Are Traditional Bridges?

Used to replace a single missing tooth, a traditional bridge has one pontic and two abutments that hold it in place.

Generally used to restore missing premolars and molars (the back teeth), traditional bridges are strong, and with proper care, last quite some time. They are the most common fixed dental bridge option used today.

What Are Maryland Bonded Bridges?

The least invasive type of fixed bridge, a Maryland bonded bridge attaches to the back of your front teeth on either side of the missing tooth area. They are used to restore front teeth, or incisors.

What Are Cantilever Bridges?

Cantilever bridges are used when a patient only has one natural tooth located next to space of the missing tooth.

This type of bridge is used for front teeth restoration and is the least common.

When Is a Porcelain Fixed Bridge Necessary?
