Porcelain Bridges – Porcelain-Lic

Porcelain dental bridges belong to permanent prosthetic restorations. This means that they are permanently cemented on the patient's own teeth. Therefore, they are a very comfortable and convenient prosthetic solution. With dental bridges, one or more dental deficiencies are replenished. They are an alternative to the use of dental implants. The bridge suspended on the patient's own pillar teeth recreates the missing teeth in terms of both aesthetic and functional. In our office we offer all-ceramic bridges on zirconium oxide and bridges faced with porcelain. What is the course of treatment? Here is a simplified scheme:

• First visit: after planning a prosthetic restoration, the doctor proceeds to grind the teeth selected as prosthetic pillars. The grinding procedure is carried out in anesthesia and is completely painless. The visit ends with the collection of squeezes and their referral to the prosthetic laboratory and the protection of ground pillar teeth with temporary crowns.
• Second visit: With smaller works on this visit, the bridge is tried on and cemented. At larger bridges, the dentist covenants the skeleton of the bridge in the patient's mouth and makes possible adjustments, then sends the bridge to the finish in the prosthetic laboratory.
• Third visit: after fitting and checking the finished bridge, the dentist cements the restoration permanently in the patient's mouth.

Faqs:

• What are the indications for prosthetic bridges? – any missing teeth are indicated, provided that appropriately located abutment teeth are present. This can only be seen after a dental examination. If the missing teeth are too extensive to make a bridge, we suggest bridges in the ZX 27 system or implant treatment.
• How long is the time of completion of the restoration – from the first visit to the end of treatment passes about 5-6 days. After this time, you can reenjoy a beautiful smile and a recreated chewing activity.
• What are other options for rebuilding the lack of individual teeth – an alternative to the use of classic prosthetic bridges is to rebuild the lack of a tooth using single crowns on implants. This solution is more favourable due to the lack of need to grind the patient's adjacent healthy teeth. Unfortunately, it must be remembered that grinding the tooth under the bridge means that already until always such a tooth will have to wear a crown, because grinding the tooth irrevocably removes the enamel from its surface.
