Zirconia Fixed Bridges - Jacksonville, FL

A dental implant zirconia bridge in Jacksonville, FL provides exceptional strength that is comparable to natural teeth. While a zirconia bridge is made from a material with physical properties similar to titanium metal, it offers far prettier aesthetics. Traditional dentures and some hybrids are made by securing porcelain teeth into an acrylic base, which is essentially a type of plastic. Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crowns are also still used in dentistry, although they have drawbacks. Their inner metal layer can cause a visible tell-tale line along the gums and the porcelain coating on the metal can wear, chip or break. Zirconia bridges eliminate common problems associated with two-material, traditional solutions. Its inherent strength enables creating thinner dental crowns than those fabricated with metals. A bridge fabricated from zirconia can withstand everyday wear and tear and offers a significantly stronger bite force without fracturing. Unlike traditional bridges, a dental implant zirconia bridge replaces both the tooth roots and crowns, thereby preserving underlying bone and stimulating new growth. A full arch zirconia implant bridge in Jacksonville, FL helps prevent undesirable facial changes that can result from bone deterioration.
