Call (954) 933-8794 Annette Middelhof, DMD Porcelain Fixed BridgesProblemPatients who are missing a tooth or several teeth may experience difficulty chewing and speaking, dental shifts, and an undesirable sunken facial appearance. Dentists noted that missing teeth can eventually lead to jaw and joint problems that are painful and costly to treat.SolutionOur dentist together with our in-house laboratory make porcelain fixed bridges to improve chewing and aesthetic appearance, restoring the smile with a more permanent solution than dentures. Bridges replace missing teeth with artificial teeth. Your dentist will take a mold of the gap where a tooth is missing, and then our in-house laboratory prepares a customized bridge. Before inserting the bridge, the dentist prepares the surrounding teeth The bridge is set into place and the artificial tooth is securely cemented to the adjacent teeth, restoring the attractive natural appearance and functionality of the tooth that was lost. If the dentist recommends a resin-bonded bridge the artificial tooth is secured by means of a metal appliance that attaches to the backs of adjacent teeth.AlternativesDental implants are permanent, stable alternatives to bridges that do not rely upon surrounding teeth for support.
