Porcelain Fixed Bridges
Are you missing one or more
teeth? If you have lost a tooth due to decay, an accident, or are genetically
missing a permanent tooth, do not worry. Your naturally beautiful smile
is not lost.Dr.
Kederian can provide
you with a solution to fill in your missing space.
There are two options when
trying to fill in spaces in the smile.Dr.
Kederian can either
place a singledental
implant in your
bone to replace a missing tooth, or she can add a floating tooth with
a porcelain fixed bridge to create a full and even smile once again
without the need for adental
implant.
Bridges are used to create
a seamless transition between teeth. If a person is missing one or more
teeth, this gap can be closed by creating a connection with the adjacent
healthy teeth, allowing the open space to be filled with a floating
tooth. These floating teeth are known as pontics and are permanently
connected to the adjacent teeth withporcelain
crowns.
The best part aboutDr. Kederian’s fixed bridges is that they are comprised
of porcelain, which looks and feels just like a natural tooth.Dr. Kederian can create a bridge that will perfectly
match the size, shape, and color of your existing teeth, meaning that
the gaps in your smile will be filled with a natural looking tooth.
IfDr.
Kederian determines
that a porcelain fixed bridge is right for you, she will begin by preparing
the teeth on either side of the gap forcrowns. Once these teeth are prepared,Dr. Kederian will take an impression to send to
a dental laboratory and make temporarycrowns while you wait for the bridge to be
made. Then,Dr.
Kederian will fully
analyze your teeth in order to take note of their size, shape, and color.
You can return home while your porcelain fixed bridge is being custom-crafted
just for you. When the bridge is ready,Dr.
Kederian will ask
you to return to the dental office and the bridge will be put in place.
The new bridge should perfectly match the size, shape, and color of
your natural smile.
If you are looking for a way
to correct a gap in your smile,Dr.
Kederian would
love to talk to you and determine if a porcelain fixed bridge is right
for you. Your smile can be complete and full once again, restoring your
smile to its natural appearance.
