Porcelain Dental Bridges Available in the Houston Area
We are proud to offer porcelain dental bridges at our Spring, Texas office near Houston. Dental bridges are made up of two porcelain dental crowns on either side of a false tooth and are used to replace a missing tooth or teeth.
About Porcelain Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are fashioned out of two porcelain dental crowns and a false tooth in the middle. They are used to bridge the gap between two teeth created by a missing tooth. Although dental bridges can be made out of certain kinds of metal, Dr. Kelly LeBlanc uses only porcelain dental bridges at his office located near Houston. Porcelain is more durable and lasts longer than gold and other metals used in dental restorations. In addition, the color of a porcelain bridge can be matched to the color of your teeth, making it virtually unnoticeable.
The Procedure
Correctly fitting and adhering a porcelain dental bridge takes several steps. First, the surrounding teeth will need to be prepared for dental crowns. An impression will be taken and then used to fashion the two porcelain crowns. The placement of dental implants may also be necessary to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for the new dental bridge. Once these steps have been completed, the crowns and the bridge will be securely attached in a subsequent visit to our office.
Porcelain dental bridges can be expected to last at least 10 years, but they require a commitment to dental hygiene. It is imperative that the bridge be cleaned properly in order to guarantee its longevity and ensure the health of your natural teeth and gums. When taken care of properly, porcelain dental bridges are a safe, comfortable, and long-lasting solution for a healthy, beautiful smile.
