At Cascade Family Smiles, we are dedicated to restoring the beauty and functionality of your smile with the highest quality dental solutions. Dr. Austin Getz specializes in porcelain dental bridges, a durable and aesthetically pleasing option for replacing missing teeth. Designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, porcelain bridges not only improve your smile’s appearance but also its overall health and functionality.
Why Choose Porcelain Dental Bridges?
Porcelain dental bridges offer a fixed solution to missing teeth, utilizing the strength and beauty of porcelain to create replacements that look and feel natural. This option is ideal for patients who seek:
- A durable alternative to dentures, with the convenience of a fixed appliance.
- The restoration of chewing and speaking functionality.
- Prevention of remaining teeth from shifting out of position.
- An aesthetically pleasing solution that matches the natural color of your teeth.
What to Expect at Our Office
Our process for designing and fitting porcelain dental bridges is thorough and personalized, ensuring optimal results:
- Initial Consultation: Our dentist will assess your oral health, discuss your goals and determine if a porcelain bridge is the most suitable option for your needs.
- Preparation of Adjacent Teeth: Teeth adjacent to the gap are prepared to serve as anchors (abutments) for the bridge. This involves reshaping these teeth to ensure a proper fit.
- Impression Taking: We take precise impressions of your teeth, which are used to custom-craft your porcelain bridge for a perfect match and fit.
- Temporary Bridge: A temporary bridge may be placed while your permanent bridge is being crafted, protecting the prepared teeth and maintaining the aesthetics of your smile.
- Fitting and Adjustment: Once your porcelain bridge is ready, Dr. Getz will fit it, making any necessary adjustments to ensure comfort and a natural bite alignment.
Benefits of Porcelain Dental Bridges
- Natural Appearance: Porcelain mimics the translucency and color of natural teeth, ensuring your bridge complements your smile beautifully.
- Improved Oral Function: Bridges restore the ability to chew and speak properly by filling the gap left by missing teeth.
- Enhanced Oral Health: By filling the space of missing teeth, bridges prevent the remaining teeth from drifting, which can lead to bite issues and jaw pain.
- Longevity: With proper care, porcelain bridges can last many years, making them a cost-effective solution for missing teeth.
