Restore Your Confidence with Porcelain Bridges

acquaintances. Many of us suffer from damaged or missing teeth that affect more than just our
smile, and cause pain, speech problems, or chewing difficulties. Porcelain bridges are
designed to replace teeth that have fallen out due to damage or injury, and are a common
cosmetic dental procedure.

Fusing porcelain to ceramic or metal pieces to be used as implants where a missing tooth or
teeth are located is the most common technique in the construction of traditional porcelain
bridges.

Porcelain Bridge Procedure

The most common type of porcelain bridge is called a traditional or "fixed" bridge.

  • Your dentist will first determine the health of teeth and gums. He or she will examine the
    area surrounding your missing tooth or teeth in order to establish whether your jaw
    structure will support the bridgework.
  • Your dentist will make a mold of your teeth
  • Dental implants will be created to fill missing spaces
  • Implants will be custom fitted to ensure a comfortable fit as well as helping to prevent
    tooth or gum decay.

Who Benefits from Porcelain Bridges?

A porcelain bridge not only restores a captivating smile, but may also address and alleviate
chewing, swallowing, and speech difficulties. Bridges restore adequate bite pressure and
reduce the risks for jaw joint disorders and periodontal disease.

Choosing a Dentist

If your dentist determines that you need bridgework, he or she will recommend an experienced
cosmetic dentist who has been adequately trained in cosmetic dental bridgework procedures
to restore that smile you've been missing.

For the best that experience and expertise has to offer, check with Dr. Joanne Le, located at 615
Piikoi Street, Suite 1404 A in Honolulu, Hawaii 96814 (808-591-2115). She is the best choice
