Porcelain Fixed Bridges in Austin, TX

Porcelain fixed bridges at Althea Eggleston, DDS, PA replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring a custom prosthesis to adjacent natural teeth. Dr. Althea Eggleston designs each bridge for a seamless, natural-looking result.

What Is A Porcelain Fixed Bridge?

A dental bridge spans the gap where teeth are missing. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (pontics) held in place by crowns cemented onto the natural teeth on either side of the gap. Porcelain construction ensures a lifelike appearance.

The Bridge Process

• Evaluation. Assess the gap, adjacent teeth, and bite.
• Preparation. Abutment teeth are shaped to receive crowns.
• Impressions. Digital scans create a precise model for fabrication.
• Temporary bridge. Protects teeth while the permanent bridge is crafted.
• Final placement. The porcelain bridge is bonded, adjusted, and polished.

• Natural porcelain appearance matched to your smile.
