Trusted Colorado Springs Dentist Fills Gaps In Teeth With Porcelain Fixed Bridges
Bear Creek Dental Center provides durable, custom-shaped porcelain fixed bridges made to resemble your natural teeth.
The bridges are essentially artificial teeth (pontics) created to fill the gaps created by missing teeth.
Rather than being inserted directly into the jawbone like other teeth replacement options, they are anchored to the surrounding teeth (abutments) using crowns and dental cement.
During the first visit, the anchoring teeth are prepared, impressions are taken, and a temporary bridge is installed to fill the gap until the permanent bridge is ready.
At the second visit, the temporary bridge is removed and the permanent bridge is checked, adjusted, and cemented.
Porcelain fixed bridges are a permanent alternative to removable partial dentures.
They are also particularly beneficial if your facial shape has changed, your other teeth have shifted, or your ability to chew and speak has been affected.
