Dental Bridges In Cebu
What are they?
Dental bridges are a type of dental prosthetic that “connects” teeth with gaps between them. Dental bridges are used for various reasons, such as:
- To fill gaps between teeth
- To prevent movement of teeth
- To restore function of teeth
- To improve your overall smile
The different materials
There are many different types of dental bridges available at our clinic in Talisay, Cebu. Each material has differences in durability, aesthetic and overall cost.
Porcelain Fused to Metal Bridges (PFM)
This is a type of dental restoration with a metal base covered by a layer of porcelain. PFM dental bridges are strong and durable, but they may have a less natural appearance than their ceramic counterparts. And because of the color of the metal, PFM bridges may appear to have a dark line near the gums as the metal shows through the porcelain.
Ceramage Bridges
Ceramic bridges have a natural-looking translucency and color that can match the surrounding teeth. These types of bridges are popular due to their price, durability and overall performance.
Emax Bridges
This is a type of all-ceramic bridge that is made from a high-strength glass-ceramic material. Emax bridges appear nearly identical to natural teeth because of their color and translucency. Emax bridges are also resistant to chipping and cracking, making them ideal for front teeth.
Zirconia Bridges
This is another type of all-ceramic bridge that is made from zirconium oxide, a metal-free material that has excellent strength and durability. Zirconia dental bridges also look almost identical to natural teeth due to their high opacity and great color.
