If you have one or more missing teeth, a Porcelain Bridge offers a proven, fixed, and highly aesthetic solution to restore your smile’s function and appearance. At Wallan Dental, we design custom bridges that literally “bridge the gap” created by lost teeth, preventing shifting, restoring your bite, and maintaining your natural facial structure.
A dental bridge is cemented permanently onto your natural teeth or implants, providing a stable, durable, and natural-looking replacement that helps you chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Porcelain bridges offer excellent aesthetics because the material closely mimics the light-reflecting properties and colour of natural tooth enamel, providing a seamless blend with your existing smile.
A dental bridge consists of two main parts:
The natural teeth surrounding the gap are gently prepared (contoured) to allow the abutment crowns to fit securely over them. We then take highly accurate impressions or digital scans, which are sent to a trusted dental laboratory for custom fabrication of your bridge.
Once your custom porcelain bridge returns from the lab, we verify the fit, colour, and comfort. The bridge is then permanently cemented onto the prepared abutment teeth, instantly restoring your full dental arch.

It is crucial to clean underneath the pontic (false tooth) to prevent bacteria build-up. We will show you how to use floss threaders or special interdental brushes designed specifically to clean the area beneath the bridge.

The teeth on either side of the gap must be shaped to accommodate the crowns that anchor the bridge. This involves removing a small amount of enamel. These teeth must be strong and healthy to support the restoration.
