What is a Dental Bridge?
![Close-up of dental equipment at Smiles for Life Clinic](https://smilesforlifeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Rectangle-488-4.png)
A dental bridge is a fixed dental restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of artificial teeth, called pontics, that are anchored or supported by adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. The pontics fill the gap created by missing teeth, while the supporting teeth or implants, known as abutments, provide stability and hold the bridge in place.
- Traditional Dental Bridge: This is the most common type of bridge, where the pontic teeth are fused to dental crowns on either side. The crowns are cemented onto the natural teeth adjacent to the gap, creating a stable and functional restoration.
- Implant-Supported Bridge: Instead of relying on natural teeth for support, an implant-supported bridge uses dental implants as the anchor points for the pontics. This provides excellent stability and prevents the need to alter adjacent healthy teeth.

What is a Zirconia Implant Bridge
A zirconia implant bridge is a type of dental prosthesis used to replace multiple missing teeth in the mouth. It is supported by dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone.
Zirconia is a durable and biocompatible material that is commonly used in dentistry for its strength and natural tooth-like appearance. It is a type of ceramic material that is resistant to wear, fracture, and corrosion. Zirconia implants are known for their high success rates and long-term stability.
The zirconia implant bridge consists of two main components: the dental implants and the bridge itself. The implants serve as anchors for the bridge, providing a secure foundation. The bridge, which is made of zirconia, is a fixed prosthesis that spans the gap created by missing teeth and is attached to the implants.

A Solution for Several Conditions:
Missing Teeth
Losing multiple teeth can jeopardize your oral health and lead to further tooth loss. A Prettau bridge is highly recommended because it replaces teeth from root to crown.

Widespread Decay
Decay can spread, taking over the majority of your smile. If most of the teeth in an arch are compromised, an implant-supported bridge may be the ideal solution.
Damage or Trauma
If you have suffered an injury that has broken several or most of your teeth, we may recommend a zirconia bridge to replace them and restore full function to your smile.

Qualified for Same Day Smile
helping patients discover and learn more about the transformative benefits of Same Day Smile. Our highly skilled dental professionals are dedicated to providing exceptional care and ensuring that each patient’s unique needs and goals are met.
Have Sufficient Bone Tissue
Bone recession is a common side effect of missing teeth. Fortunately, dental implants work even if you have sustained jawbone atrophy. While you would need bone grafting in order to qualify for traditional implants, you can skip these extra steps.
Be in Good Health
Oral health issues, such as gum disease, and health concerns, such as diabetes, can affect the success of your implants. Be sure to discuss your full medical and dental history with our team during your initial implant consultation.
Avoid Smoking
Smoking and other tobacco use can significantly increase the chance of complications after implant surgery. For this reason, we strongly recommend quitting the habit at least a few months before your procedure.
Zirconia Bridges Offer Unrivaled Strength and Cosmetics
Zirconia implant-supported bridges are one of the strongest and most natural-looking restorations available. Unlike traditional prostheses, zirconia bridges (also known as All-on-x bridges) are held in place by artificial tooth roots and made from an incredibly durable and lifelike material. Using the Teeth in a Day method, we can rebuild your smile with a stunning All-on-x bridge in a single appointment.
Overall, zirconia implant-supported bridges provide a combination of strength, aesthetics, and convenience. They are an excellent choice for individuals seeking a durable and lifelike restoration that can enhance both their oral health and overall quality of life.

What does a All-On-X bridge look like?
![teeth with some metal instrument](https://smilesforlifeonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Rectangle-488-5.png)
All-On-X bridge is a type of zirconia implant-supported bridge known for its exceptional aesthetics and natural appearance. It is made from high-quality zirconia, a ceramic material that closely resembles the color, translucency, and texture of natural teeth.
The All-On-X bridge is custom-designed and fabricated to suit each patient's unique dental anatomy and desired outcome. It typically consists of a solid, monolithic structure that spans the gap created by missing teeth and attaches to the dental implants. The bridge is carefully crafted to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth, ensuring a harmonious and natural-looking smile.
It's worth noting that the exact design and aesthetics of a All-On-X bridge may vary depending on the specific needs and preferences of each patient. The bridge is custom-made based on factors such as the number of missing teeth, the condition of the surrounding teeth and gums, and the desired outcome of the patient.
Overall, a All-On-X bridge is a high-quality zirconia implant-supported bridge that offers a natural-looking, durable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for individuals seeking to restore their smile and oral function.

Cathy is always amazing. She remembers personal care details about my visit each time which shows me that she is a great listener, she has heard me and follows through with such care.
Cathy Ryan
I had Dr. Whiting for the first time and the practice will be in excellent hands when Dr. McIntire retires in Sept. He was profesional yet had an engaging demeanor when interacting with me. What makes this practice exceptional is the support staff- the welcoming friendliness of the front desk and the business office personnel. In particular, I would like to give high praises to the dental technician, Faith. She is warm, engaging and puts you at ease. She educates you during the whole process and is extremely knowledgeable about the procedures. Without a doubt, this is the best dental practice in the Valley.
Howard Dean
Dr. Whiting and staff did an excellent job. They were respectful, professional, and very helpful during the process of getting some dental implants. They expedited my appointments to get my new teeth before Father’s Day. Very happy with the results!
Susan Hairston
Dr. Mac performed a small miracle for me yesterday during my appointment. I was having an issue with my temporary bridge and he squeezed me in with his other patients to fix it. He went to great lengths to help me and I am very grateful. Thank you SFL!!
Dottie Westhafer
I had every intention of shopping around before committing to the extensive dental work I needed. However, after visiting the practice and seeing how dedicated they were to making life changing improvement for their patients, I looked no further. It is a process, starting with evaluations, recommendations, x-rays and scheduling. Beginning with my first appointment I marveled at the kindness, care and professionalism I received. I was taken care of skillfully and gently as we began my transformation. Today, June 6, 2024, I left their office with a beautiful smile without discoloration, wear, and misaligned teeth, and I now have a corrected bite and completely restored teeth that I am proud to show. Dr. Geo is very caring and meticulous, striving to complete his work with skill and perfection. I’m so glad that I came to Smiles For Life.
Charles Kimbrough
Smiles for Life has taken care of my dentistry needs for the last 6 years or so. Other offices in the past have had difficult times fitting me in when I needed an appointment. That hasn’t been the case here. Today, I needed to reschedule my appointment for next Monday, and they had an opening today with Cathy Batton instead of my regular hygienist. Cathy does a great job with years of experience and has a way about her to make you feel comfortable.
Linda Clague
Alex, . Morgan, and Dr Geo are very personable and professional. I felt very relaxed the entire visit.I especially appreciated Dr. Geo's careful mouth and teeth exam. They explained everything step by step and allowed time for questions.
Mclatt
On my first visit I meet Becky, we sat down and talked about everything they do there and she allowed me to tell her about my issues with my teeth and she felt that they could help me with my problem. This is the first time I have ever been able to explain, in detail, about my past and present experiences with my dental problems. She made me feel very comfortable in taking about my care and what I would like to have done with my denture issue's. I have set up my next appointment to have x-rays done and feel very good about that! I'm looking forward to my visit and what they have to say about fixing my problem .
