Bridges are the traditional way to replace missing teeth using natural porcelain when implants are not an option.

Modern bridgework uses a strong metal - free framework called zirconium.

Teeth either side of the missing tooth are prepared as supports for the missing tooth. Molds are made and a bridge framework is cast or milled from zirconia or metal, then layered with porcelain. The bridge is cemented with a strong resin adhesive. The procedure involves 2 appointments, about 2 weeks apart.

Old bridges with dark margins were replaced with new zirconia bridges for a brighter, whiter smile and even gum line.
