Zirconia bridges are made from zirconium oxide, a strong, safe dental ceramic. It has a translucent appearance and matches with your other teeth. The body does not negatively react to or reject the zirconia bridge, so you do not need to worry about the bridge irritating your mouth.
Because zirconia restorations offer more fracture resistance than other dental materials, they are nearly indestructible and stands up well to bruxism and parafunctional habits better than any other material currently available. Zirconia is also a very suitable material for the fabrication of long-span bridges.
Getting a Zirconia Dental Bridge is a streamlined process with our advanced technology and skilled team.
Consultation: We start with a meeting where we take photos and x-rays of your teeth.
Preparing the Abutments: Your dentist shapes the teeth that will support the bridge, often using anesthesia for comfort.
Dental Impression: We take a mold of your mouth, which is digitally scanned in our lab.
Temporary Bridge: While your custom bridge is being made, we provide a temporary one.
Design: Using the scan, our tech creates a 3D model of your bridge.
Manufacturing: The model is used to mill the bridge from a solid Zirconia block, then it's baked, trimmed, and polished.
Fitting: We try the bridge on your teeth, make any needed adjustments, and get your approval.
Installation: We prepare your teeth, apply bonding agent, and cement the bridge in place with a special light to secure it.
Zirconia Dental Bridges are crafted for longevity, offering exceptional durability and strength. With proper care, these bridges can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years, and even longer in some cases. Their high fracture resistance and biocompatibility make them a reliable choice for both anterior and posterior dental restorations. To maximize their lifespan, maintain good oral hygiene, avoid hard foods, and schedule regular dental check-ups. This commitment to care ensures your Zirconia Dental Bridge remains a strong and aesthetically pleasing part of your smile for years to come.
