Porcelain and zirconia bridges

Porcelain Bridges Melbourne

This Enhance Dental patient has a porcelain bridge to replace a missing upper right front tooth.

If you have one or more missing teeth and need to have it replaced with a new tooth that is permanently fixed in place, a porcelain bridge may be the right solution for you.

Enhance Dental can determine if a porcelain bridge is suitable for you  by providing a detailed and thorough assessment with our highly trained and experienced dentists.

Porcelain bridges can dramatically improve the appearance of your smile or help you chew your food with ease. This is because porcelain bridges are often suitable to replace front or back teeth. Porcelain bridges usually last decades with proper care and good oral hygiene.

With the latest technology, porcelain bridges often appear so lifelike that no one can tell!

Dr Joseph Paino, the principle dentist advises “We understand there are many options to replace missing teeth. Porcelain bridges, implants or dentures are often considered if a tooth or teeth are missing and not all options are suitable or desirable for all patients. This is why we take the time to carefully assess your specific needs, the health of your remaining teeth and explain every option you are considering in a way that really makes sense.”

What is the porcelain bridge procedure?
After a consultation with our highly skilled Enhance Dental dentist the preparation is tailored to suit your individual requirements. Precise impressions and measurements are made to customise the porcelain bridge to accurately bond in position. Our porcelain bridges are meticulously crafted with the highest standards by our dedicated Melbourne dental laboratory which provide individual custom shading. The outcome is a beautiful long-lasting porcelain bridge with a lifelike appearance that blends with your natural teeth. A porcelain bridge can usually be completed in as little as two appointments over a period of three weeks.
What material is used in porcelain bridges that are metal free?
The inside surface of porcelain bridges that are metal free is made of Zirconia. This material is one of the most technologically advanced materials available. The Zirconia is formed into its correct shape with a highly sophisticated milling machine from a scanned computer cad cam model. Being metal free, Zirconia bridges do not have that all too common black or silver line near the gum and there is no risk of metal allergies. Zirconia is one of the strongest ceramic materials used inside porcelain bridges and will give your smile a long-lasting, lifelike appearance.
