Porcelain Fixed Dental Bridges

Our doctors can provide you porcelain dental bridge to close the gaps in your smile and restore your healthy, functional bite. Bridges are a non-removable appliance, making them an excellent choice for missing teeth replacement. We invite you to contact Cheer Dental at 408-437-1111 for more information about porcelain dental bridges in San Jose, California, and schedule your consultation with our dentists.

There are several types of dental bridges available to restore your smile. The most common type of bridge is made of porcelain fused with metal. Dental bridges consist of two crowns that cover anchoring teeth (also called abutment teeth) and are attached to one or more artificial teeth to close the gaps in your smile caused by missing teeth. During your consultation, our dentists will discuss the various types of bridges available and determine the most beneficial one for you.

Dental bridges help to:

• Fill the spaces caused by missing teeth
• Maintain the shape of your face
• Prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of position
• Restore your ability to chew and speak
• Restore your smile
• Upgrade you from a removable partial denture to a permanent appliance

You can schedule at least two appointments with our dentists to receive a dental bridge. During the first appointment, the area around the affected teeth will be numbed, and the anchoring teeth will be prepared for dental crowns. Our dentists will take an impression and send it to a dental lab. It will fabricate your bridge perfectly. We will provide you with a temporary bridge for a time between appointments. At your second appointment, we will remove the temporary bridge, place your permanent bridge, and check it carefully to ensure a good fit before cementing it in place.

Dental bridges are highly durable restorations. If the bridges are taken care of, they can last many years. However, you will need to replace or re-cement your bridge eventually.
