What Are Zirconia Fixed Bridges?

Zirconia fixed bridges are dental restorations crafted using a single piece of solid zirconia. Zirconia, a ceramic material made from zirconium, possesses remarkable strength akin to titanium. Zirconia implant bridges are designed to replace multiple missing teeth and restore the function and appearance of your smile. 

Benefits of Zirconia Bridges

There are several benefits of zirconia implant bridges, such as:

  • Natural-Looking Appearance: Fixed bridges are known for their natural-looking appearance. They can be customized to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, resulting in a seamless and aesthetically pleasing smile.
  • Long-Lasting Durability: Zirconia is an exceptionally strong material, comparable to natural teeth. This makes zirconia fixed bridges highly durable and able to withstand the forces of biting and chewing for years to come.
  • Stain and Odor Resistant: The smooth and polished surface of zirconia fixed bridges resists staining and prevents the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain the appearance and freshness of your restoration.
  • Biocompatible and Nonporous: Zirconia is biocompatible, meaning it’s compatible with the tissues in your mouth. It is also non-porous, which reduces the risk of bacterial growth and allergic reactions.
  • Precision Designed For You: Zirconia implant bridges are custom-crafted to fit your unique smile specifications. They are designed with laser-point precision, replicating the grooves and contours of natural teeth for a stunning and natural-looking result.

Zirconia fixed bridges are an excellent option for individuals who desire a strong, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing restoration. Ideal candidates for zirconia fixed bridges may include those who:

  • Have Multiple Missing Teeth: Zirconia fixed bridges are particularly suitable for individuals with multiple missing teeth, as they offer a comprehensive and functional full-arch restoration.
  • Desire a Natural-Looking Smile: If you prioritize aesthetics and wish to restore your smile with a solution that closely resembles natural teeth, zirconia fixed bridges are an excellent choice.
  • Seek Long-Term Solutions: Patients looking for durable and long-lasting dental restorations to improve their chewing ability and overall quality of life can benefit from zirconia fixed bridges.
  • Have Sufficient Bone Density: Adequate bone density in the jaw is essential for successful implantation of the dental implants that support zirconia fixed bridges.
  • Are Committed to Aftercare: Patients must be committed to proper oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and follow the dentist’s aftercare instructions to ensure the longevity of their zirconia fixed bridges.
  • Are Not Prone to Teeth Grinding: Excessive teeth grinding (bruxism) may impact the success of zirconia fixed bridges. In such cases, the dentist may recommend additional treatments or modifications.

The Zirconia Fixed Implant Bridge Process

Consultation

During the consultation, our skilled periodontist, Dr. Boltchi, will evaluate your dental condition and determine if zirconia fixed bridges are suitable for you. We’ll discuss your medical history, dental anxiety, and expectations for the procedure.

Design

Once we determine that zirconia fixed bridges are right for you, we’ll take impressions of your teeth and gums to create a customized design for your new teeth. We’ll also match the color of your new teeth to your natural teeth and gums.

Preparation

To prepare for the zirconia fixed bridge installation, we will place dental implants into your jawbone. This process involves a minor surgical procedure that is performed under local anesthesia. We can also offer sedation dentistry options to help you stay relaxed and pain-free during the procedure. The implants will serve as the foundation for your new teeth.

Temporary Restoration

Dr. Boltchi will then place your temporary bridge restoration. These will serve until your permanent Zirconia bridges are ready for placement. 

Zirconia Bridge Placement 

Your temporary restoration will be removed and your new fixed Zirconia dental bridge will be placed out of office. DFW Implant Center will make adjustments to your dental bridge as needed so you can enjoy your fully restored smile for years.   

Aftercare and Maintenance for Zirconia Fixed Bridges

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your zirconia fixed bridge, it’s crucial to follow proper aftercare and maintenance guidelines:

  1. Maintain Good Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss regularly and use interdental brushes or water flossers to clean between the bridge and surrounding teeth.
  2. Avoid Damaging Habits: Refrain from biting or chewing on hard objects, such as ice, pens, or fingernails, to prevent damage to the zirconia fixed bridge.
  3. Dietary Considerations: Limit the consumption of sticky or hard foods that could put undue stress on the fixed bridge. Cut large or tough foods into smaller, manageable pieces.
  4. Regular Dental Check-Ups: Schedule regular dental visits to monitor the health of your zirconia fixed bridge, identify any issues early, and receive professional cleanings.
  5. Address Teeth Grinding: If you have a teeth-grinding habit, discuss it with Dr. Boltchi. He may recommend a night guard or other appropriate treatments to protect your zirconia fixed bridge.
