If you need teeth replaced to restore your smile, you might be a good candidate for a porcelain fixed bridge. Porcelain fixed bridges are a great solution to replace a missing tooth or teeth and can look and function just like your natural teeth! Dentist of Torrance offers the best in dental bridge technology in the South Bay.
Porcelain fixed bridges are a type of dental bridge that replace missing teeth. Unlike removable dentures, dental bridges are secured in place and do not need to be removed for cleaning. You brush your new teeth just like your natural teeth.
Fixed dental bridges replace teeth by using surrounding teeth as stabilizing anchors to hold the replacement teeth in place. With a porcelain fixed bridge, the replacement teeth are made out of porcelain, which is a durable material that looks just like real teeth. In fact, your new teeth may be even more attractive than the teeth being replaced!
A porcelain fixed bridge is extremely sturdy and will look and act like your regular teeth. The porcelain used for the new teeth is stain-resistant and natural-looking. You’ll have a new set of teeth that will look fabulous and require minimal maintenance. Unlike most dentures, fixed bridges don’t need to be taken out daily for cleaning. This makes porcelain fixed bridges not only attractive, but easy to maintain.
Porcelain fixed bridges are so comfortable that you won’t even know you have a dental appliance in place. Your new bridge will look and function like your normal teeth.
Southern California is a location that places a high value on looking good and living a healthy lifestyle. The good news is, your new porcelain fixed bridge will not just be cosmetic, it will improve your oral health. It does this by mitigating spacing problems and bite issues that can arise when teeth are missing. Your gums will also be happier too, meaning you will be less likely to develop periodontal disease due to misaligned teeth.
Porcelain dental bridges are long-lasting and on average can last 10 years or even up to 15 or more. You can help your fixed bridge last longer by avoiding chewing on items that could stress your teeth, such as pencils, hard candies, or ice cubes.
If you think you might benefit from a porcelain fixed bridge, contact us at Dentist of Torrance in Southern California. We will first start with a comprehensive oral examination of your mouth, teeth, and gums to assess your unique situation. Digital X-rays will be taken to determine the underlying bone structure and stability of the teeth. Once the dentist has finished examining you, we will go over all your options and determine if a porcelain dental bridge is a good fit. If a porcelain bridge is selected, we may use digital imaging and/or dental impressions as a basis to create your custom porcelain bridge.
The cost for a porcelain fixed bridge can run from $500 to $1,500 per replaced tooth. Your dental health insurance plan may be able to help defray some of these costs. We also have affordable financing plans to help you. Contact us at Dentist of Torrance for more information.
