If you're missing teeth and searching for a reliable, long-lasting solution to restore your smile, a porcelain dental bridge may be the answer. At Parkway Dental Care in Kissimmee, FL, we specialize in providing high-quality porcelain bridges that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Our friendly team is dedicated to helping you achieve a confident, healthy smile with the most advanced, comfortable, and affordable treatments available.
A porcelain dental bridge is a dental prosthesis used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of a false tooth (or teeth) that is securely anchored by crowns placed on the neighboring teeth. Porcelain is often the material of choice for bridges because it mimics the appearance of natural teeth, ensuring that your smile remains beautiful and seamless.
Our team at Parkway Dental Care customizes each porcelain bridge to match the color, size, and shape of your natural teeth, so no one will even be able to tell the difference.
Tooth loss can occur due to several reasons, including:
You may experience the following symptoms if you have missing teeth:
Your journey to a beautiful smile starts with a thorough consultation at Parkway Dental Care. During this visit, we will evaluate your oral health, discuss treatment options, and determine if a porcelain bridge is right for you.
If a porcelain bridge is the recommended solution, the next step involves preparing the adjacent teeth. These teeth will be reshaped to ensure a secure fit for the crowns, ensuring that your bridge is stable and functional.
After preparing your teeth, we take detailed impressions of your mouth, which are sent to a skilled dental lab. Here, your custom porcelain bridge is carefully crafted to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless look.
While your permanent porcelain bridge is being made, you will wear a temporary bridge. This keeps your teeth protected and maintains proper function while you wait for your custom bridge to be completed.
Once your permanent porcelain bridge is ready, you’ll return to Parkway Dental Care for the final fitting. We will ensure the bridge fits comfortably, making any necessary adjustments to guarantee a secure, natural-looking result.
A well-maintained porcelain bridge can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or longer. Proper care, including regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental cleanings, can significantly extend the lifespan of your bridge. It’s important to avoid habits such as grinding your teeth or biting hard objects, which can damage the bridge.
