All-Ceramic Dental Bridge Fixed to Teeth

If you’re missing multiple teeth, your dentist may recommend a dental bridge. Dental bridges are useful in restoring your natural appearance and can assist you in eating and speaking properly. There are many different forms of dental bridges and partial dental bridges but, without dental implants for support, dental bridges typically rely on adjacent natural teeth as anchors. A commonly used dental bridge in adolescents is the Maryland Bridge.

A Maryland bridge attaches to the backsides of adjacent teeth, with little modification. Maryland bridges are perfect for children and young adults who are too young to get dental implants. Maryland bridges sit over adjacent teeth like dental crowns.

Ask your dentist if you’re a candidate for a Nobel Biocare all-ceramic dental bridge.

The first step to your new teeth is an examination of your current situation by your dentist. Then, you and your dentist can determine which solution works best for you. Often your dentist might begin directly with Step 2.

At this step, your dentist will prepare your adjacent teeth so they can be used as anchors for the final all-ceramic dental bridge

A minimum of two adjacent teeth will be re-shaped.

Your dentist then will take an impression of this area in your mouth.

Your dentist will prepare a temporary dental bridge for you to use while the final one is being made.

Your dentist will then send the impression to a laboratory where a model is made. From the model, the lab makes your new all-ceramic dental bridge.

After your dentist has received your new dental bridge, you’ll return to your dentist’s office for fitting and final cementation.

Your dentist will ensure that the dental bridge fits properly and that you’re pleased with the results. The Nobel Biocare process for manufacturing ensures a perfect fit with little or no modification necessary.

Your dentist will cement the dental bridge in place.

And your beautiful smile is complete!

Testimonials

I have been a patient of Dr. Weissglass for over 15 years. I have had both gum and implant surgery performed by Dr. Weissglass and his team with nothing but outstanding results from both experiences. Dr. Weissglass is in a class of his own and his staff warrants the same recognition. Dr. Weissglass truly cares for the well being of his patients and always goes the extra yard to insure his patients receive the level of care commensurate with their respective circumstances. I continue to visit Dr. Weissglass' office every three months for a cleaning. Kim the Hygienist, is very experienced and always provides me with a thorough and comfortable cleaning session. Overall the level of professionalism and experience offered by Dr. Weissglass and his staff insures both current and future patients are treated with the highest level of quality and care. I will continue to be his patient for as long as I need his help to remedy my dental related requirements.

I remain totally satisfied with the implants that Dr. Weisglass placed in my mouth. Moreover, having had more than one root canal, I was very happy when I heard that there is no such thing as performing this procedure on implants. My implants have been, for me,a win-win situation all around!!
Proud of my transformed smile.
