A porcelain fixed bridge is a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. At Zara Dental NYC, we often recommend a traditional bridge—made of porcelain fused to metal—for its durability and natural look. The bridge includes two crowns placed on neighboring teeth (abutments) and one or more artificial teeth (pontics) to fill the gap.
What It Helps With
- Missing teeth
- Shifting teeth
- Difficulty chewing or speaking
- Changes to facial shape
- The need to avoid removable dentures
- Enhancing your smile
What to Expect
The procedure usually takes two visits. First, we prepare the surrounding teeth, take molds, and place a temporary bridge. On your next visit, we fit and cement the permanent bridge.
Aftercare
Bridges require simple maintenance—regular brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings. With proper care, your bridge can last for many years.
