Porcelain Dental Bridge facts from our Riverside Cosmetic Dental Office:

A porcelain dental bridge is recommended when either a tooth is lost or missing. It is very important to fill the “gap” of the missing tooth so that the chewing system is not compromised. Porcelain dental bridges typically are considered “3 units,” meaning each tooth adjacent to the missing tooth serve as anchors for the bridge. The tooth between the anchors is called the “pontic.” Listed below are some of the benefits of a fixed porcelain dental bridge:

• Maintaining a properly functioning chewing system

• Preventing teeth from shifting out of position

• Keeping the biting forces even

• Restoring your smile and shape of your face

• Decreasing your risk of periodontal disease
