ALL ABOUT PORCELAIN FIXED BRIDGES

While porcelain veneers in Belmont are ideal for correcting misaligned, chipped, or discolored teeth, porcelain fixed bridges are designed to replace teeth that are missing altogether. Whether you have lost teeth due to periodontal disease or in an accident, ask your dentist for details about porcelain fixed bridges.

Unlike veneers, which only cover the fronts of natural teeth, porcelain bridges replace two or more missing teeth. As your dentist will explain, porcelain fixed bridges are so popular because they are most cosmetically similar to natural teeth. Whether you have lost teeth to periodontal disease, aging, injury, or accident, dentists recommend porcelain bridges as permanent solutions to missing teeth. Porcelain bridges consist of two dental crowns that go over two anchors, called abutments. If you are missing teeth, you may feel understandably self-conscious. Missing teeth are also a serious oral health concern, as your jawbone can begin to deteriorate around gaps in your smile. Porcelain bridges help stop bone deterioration, allowing you to maintain your optimal facial shape. Bridges also restore your smile, allowing you to chew, speak, and laugh with complete confidents. If you want to replace missing teeth or upgrade from a partial denture, ask your dentist about porcelain fixed bridges.
