How do Dental Bridges work?
Step 1: Clean and rebuild teeth
As the adjacent teeth will support the future bridge, it is essential that the dentist cleans all decay and replaces all old defective restorative materials.
Step 2: Producing the zirconia bridges
After preparing the teeth – we only use the most conservative techniques – the dentist takes an impression of them. The lab technician can then craft the zirconia bridge.
Step 3: Fitting the bridge
2 weeks later, the bridge can then be strongly cemented to the
supporting teeth.
Step 4: Bridge fitted
Once fitted, one can appreciate its function and aesthetics. Understanding and respecting the patient’s usual bite is paramount for a durable bridge.
