Fixed Prosthetics

Fixed Prosthetics

Fixed Prosthetics – where fixed constructions are made, which are not removable but are fixed to the rest of the teeth.

Dental Bridges – metal-ceramic, are prosthetic dental appliances that compensate the missing teeth, and are supported by the rest of the teeth. The inner part of the dental bridge is made of metal and is completely invisible, and the visible part is made of a high quality ceramics – porcelain. The technique of work consists of preparation of two adjacent teeth that surround the empty space, or preparation of more teeth when we’re talking about bigger constructions. If you are a candidate for a dental bridge, you are given a local anesthetic so we can prepare the teeth required to support the bridge. If the support teeth are decayed or badly broken down, we may have to build them back up before they can be used as support teeth for a bridge.

Next, we take an impression of the prepared teeth with a putty-like material that is used to create a model of your teeth. Your bridge is fabricated based on this model by a skilled lab technician so that it precisely fits the prepared teeth. It is important that your restoration fit perfectly to avoid additional oral health problems such as tooth decay.

While your bridge is being fabricated, we fit you with a temporary bridge so the teeth and gums can be protected from damage until your permanent bridge is ready.

To complete the dental bridge procedure, you must return to the dental office for a second visit to have the bridge fitted and cemented.

We make sure the color and the form of the dental bridge are adequate with the rest of the natural teeth, so we can achieve the best aesthetic solution.
