Porcelain Bridges

Porcelain Bridges in Central Harlem, NY

Cosmetic dental care is all about what fits you. To get you a smile that fits you, you need to find a treatment that fits you. For some patients missing teeth, dentures and dental implants don’t fit—dentures aren’t permanent enough while implants are too extensive. In that case, the right choice might be a porcelain bridge. Morningside Dental Care can fill the gap in your smile with a bridge that fits you just right.

A Primer on Porcelain Bridges

To create a bridge, we place two or more dental crowns on the teeth on either side of the gap where you’re missing teeth. The crowns provide support for a bridge that contains a false tooth that sits in the gap.

We use porcelain because it’s a durable and natural-looking material that mimics the translucency of natural teeth. This makes your porcelain bridge virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding teeth. Porcelain is also a biocompatible material, meaning you won’t suffer any ill effects down the line the way you might with other substances.

Porcelain Bridge or Dental Implants?

Morningside Dental Care offers both options to patients with gaps in their smile. Dental implants are a great permanent solution for some people, but a bridge may be a better fit for you depending on:

Budget: Porcelain bridges are more wallet-friendly than implants, allowing you to cover up gaps in your smile without a big financial commitment.

Time: Bridges are typically installed in just two to three visits and don’t require as long of a recovery period as implants.

Dental Phobia: The procedure for dental implants is more invasive, which can be a bit more daunting for anxious patients. While we go out of our way to make you feel at ease with any procedure, you might feel more comfortable with a bridge.

Health: Dental implants require having enough bone density in your jaw to support the implant. If you don’t qualify for implants, bridges are a great alternative.

We want to make sure New Yorkers have access to cosmetic and restorative dentistry that’s both effective and convenient. Porcelain bridges can offer the perfect middle ground.
