Metal bridges are durable dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent natural teeth or crowns. These bridges are made from strong metal alloys that provide excellent strength, stability, and long-lasting performance, especially for back teeth where chewing forces are greater. The procedure involves preparing the supporting teeth, taking impressions, and fabricating a custom bridge that fits securely in the missing tooth space. Metal bridges help restore chewing ability, maintain proper tooth alignment, and improve overall oral function. Although they are less aesthetic than tooth-colored bridges, metal bridges are highly reliable, resistant to wear, and offer an effective long-term solution for replacing missing teeth.
Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM) bridges are dental restorations used to replace one or more missing teeth by combining the strength of a metal framework with the natural appearance of porcelain. These bridges consist of artificial teeth supported by crowns placed on adjacent teeth, providing both durability and aesthetics. The metal substructure offers excellent strength and stability, while the porcelain outer layer is designed to match the color of natural teeth for a pleasing smile appearance. PFM bridges are commonly used for both front and back teeth because they can withstand chewing forces while maintaining a natural look. The procedure involves preparing the supporting teeth, taking impressions, and placing a custom-made bridge that restores function, speech, chewing ability, and overall oral health.
