Who is a candidate for a porcelain bridge?

If you have lost a tooth or teeth for any reason that has resulted in a gap between your remaining teeth, you are likely a candidate for a dental bridge. You other options are dental implant replacements, or removable partial dentures. When you schedule a consultation with The Dental Center Of Nevada, we will review each of these options with you to find out which is the best treatment for you.

​

​What are the advantages of a porcelain bridge?

Advantages of a porcelain bridge include:

• Dental bridges are a highly aesthetic option for replacing a lost tooth
• The Dental Center Of Nevada bridges look and feel and function like natural teeth
• All porcelain bridges do not have the ugly gray line at the gumline (like porcelain bridges that have a metal substructure)

​​What are the disadvantages of a porcelain bridge?

​Disadvantages of a porcealin bridge include:

• The teeth on either side of the missing tooth/teeth must be prepared for a restoration
• All of the teeth in the dental bridge are connected, so flossing is more difficult
• If one tooth on the bridge has a problem, the whole bridge must be replaced

​

How long do they last?​

If you care for your teeth the way we, at The Dental Center Of Nevada, recommend, then your porcelain bridge should last a long time. Our The Dental Center Of Nevada dentists guarantee their work for years.

 

How much do they cost?
Because dental bridges are a multi-tooth restoration, they will typically cost several times more than a traditional crown fee.
