Natural-Looking Dental Bridges in Auburn, WA

Missing teeth can affect how you speak, chew, and feel about your smile. Great Northwest Dental provides custom porcelain bridges to replace missing teeth with a strong and natural-looking solution. A porcelain bridge helps maintain proper bite alignment, prevents shifting teeth, and restores confidence in your smile.

What Is a Porcelain Bridge?

A porcelain dental bridge is a custom restoration that fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth (pontics) supported by dental crowns on the adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. Porcelain bridges provide a secure, functional replacement that blends with your existing teeth.

Benefits of Porcelain Bridges

  • Restores Smile and Function – Improves the ability to chew and speak naturally
  • Matches Natural Teeth – Porcelain mimics the color and texture of real teeth
  • Prevents Teeth From Shifting – Keeps surrounding teeth in proper alignment
  • Long-Lasting Durability – Designed to withstand daily use with proper care
  • Non-Removable – A fixed solution that does not require removal like dentures

When Is a Porcelain Bridge Recommended?

Porcelain bridges are a good option if you have:

  • One or more missing teeth in a row
  • Difficulty chewing or speaking due to tooth loss
  • Shifting teeth caused by gaps in your smile
  • A desire for a non-removable, natural-looking replacement

The Porcelain Bridge Process

  1. Consultation and Evaluation – The dentist assesses your oral health and determines if a bridge is the best option.
  2. Tooth Preparation – The adjacent teeth are reshaped to support the crowns that will anchor the bridge.
  3. Impressions and Temporary Bridge – Digital impressions are taken to create a precise custom bridge, and a temporary bridge is placed.
  4. Custom Bridge Placement – The final porcelain bridge is bonded securely for a strong, natural-looking restoration.

Porcelain Bridge FAQ

With proper care, a porcelain bridge can last 10 to 15 years or longer. Regular checkups help maintain its strength and function.

The procedure is done with local anesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. Some sensitivity may occur after placement but usually fades within a few days.

Porcelain does not respond to whitening treatments. If whitening is desired, it should be done before getting the bridge to match the desired tooth shade.

Daily brushing, flossing under the bridge, and routine dental visits help keep it in good condition. Avoid chewing hard foods to prevent damage.
