Installing porcelain bridges is a safe and fast solution for dental prosthetics. The cost of performing this method is significantly cheaper than implants. If you are in need of installing porcelain bridges, please follow the content below!

1. What is porcelain bridge fitting?

Installing a ceramic bridge is a solution to help restore one or more missing teeth.

To create a bridge, the doctor finely grinds 2 or more teeth next to the tooth to be treated to create “abutments”. Porcelain bridges are fixed on the “piers”, thereby helping to fill the missing tooth gap on the jaw arc.

There are two types of porcelain crown materials that make up dental bridges: porcelain-titanium teeth and all-ceramic teeth. Each type has advantages and disadvantages as follows:

1.1 Porcelain – titanium teeth

Advantage:

Cheap price, only from 1,500,000 VND/tooth.
Good chewing function and high durability due to titanium ribs.

Defect:

Discoloration of the gum line: over time, titanium has oxidizing properties so it can penetrate the gum tissue, causing the gum line around the crown to darken. This problem does not occur with all-ceramic teeth.

1.2 All-ceramic teeth

Advantage:

Very high aesthetics, similar to real teeth and does not cause discoloration of the gum line. High-quality glass ceramics (Emax) are almost as transparent as real teeth.
Chewing function is very good. High quality porcelain teeth (Cercon, DDBIO, Lava,…) have a hardness of 800 Mpa, while real teeth are about 300 Mpa.

Defect:

The price is higher than porcelain – titanium teeth, fluctuating between 3,000,000 – 7,000,000 VND/tooth.

Depending on your budget and personal needs, you can choose the appropriate porcelain dental bridge material.

2. Who can install porcelain dental bridges?

Installing a porcelain dental bridge can treat the following cases:

Loss of one or two adjacent molars.
Missing teeth alternately.
Loss of one or more front teeth.

In addition, the doctor must also evaluate other factors before recommending the installation of a porcelain dental bridge. Eg:

The teeth next to the lost tooth must be healthy, strong, and free of gingivitis.
The gums in the tooth loss area must be firm and not inflamed.
The teeth in the opposing jaw are in good condition.
The body is in a healthy state, without treatment for disease.

In case the patient is not eligible for a porcelain dental bridge, the doctor may prescribe an implant.

3. What are the advantages of installing a porcelain dental bridge?

Installing a porcelain dental bridge has been the most popular dental restoration method thanks to the following outstanding advantages:

3.1 High aesthetics

Porcelain dental bridges have a natural color and shape like real teeth, so it is difficult for the other person to recognize when communicating with you. Especially if you choose all-ceramic crowns, the difference is almost zero. In addition, modern dental techniques help close the tooth loss position, thereby increasing aesthetics.

3.2 Dental function is improved

Because the missing tooth position has been supplemented, you will restore the most natural chewing feeling. Besides, installing porcelain dental bridges also restores other functions of teeth such as:

Restore your bite to normal
Maintains natural facial shape
Improve pronunciation, communicate more confidently and easily

3.3 Limit harmful complications

Installing a porcelain dental bridge helps prevent the teeth above and on both sides of the missing tooth from moving when there is space in the jaw. Besides, this method contributes to limiting temporomandibular joint disease caused by tooth loss.

3.4 Quick implementation time

Compared to restoration using the Implant method, installing a porcelain bridge has a significantly faster implementation time, only 4-5 days.

3.5 Cost savings

The price of making a porcelain dental bridge is significantly lower than that of dental implants. In addition, this method does not cause irritation to the tissues in the oral cavity and is less painful.

However, the quality of porcelain dental bridges depends greatly on the skill of the doctor and the support of modern technology. Therefore, you should choose a reputable dentist when installing a porcelain dental bridge.
