How much does a porcelain bridge cost today?
Some popular types of porcelain bridges today include:
1.1. Traditional porcelain bridge
With this type, the doctor will install a bridge consisting of 3 teeth stuck together so that the middle tooth will replace the lost real tooth and the 2 adjacent teeth will be attached to the real tooth pillar for fixing. This means that the 2 teeth next to the missing tooth position will have a certain layer of enamel ground down to create space for the porcelain crown.
1.2. Porcelain bridge with glued wings
This is a type of porcelain bridge that is often applied to the front teeth area. The porcelain bridge is now made up of fake teeth and metal strips, called glued wings. The glued wings will be attached to the abutment teeth located at the 2 ends of the missing tooth space with specialized dental glue, and in the middle is a fake tooth to replace the missing tooth. This is a type of porcelain bridge that is often indicated for the front teeth area.
1.3. Jumping porcelain bridge
This is a suitable method for cases of missing front teeth, an area that is less affected by chewing force. In terms of structure, this type of porcelain bridge is similar to the traditional type, but the difference is that the abutment supporting the porcelain crown is only located on one side, not on both sides like the traditional type.
1.4. Porcelain bridge with
With this type of porcelain bridge, the doctor will use one or two pillars in front or behind the missing tooth to support the porcelain crown and then grind the stump. This means that the doctor must accurately calculate the evenly distributed chewing force to avoid the situation where the force is concentrated on one tooth, causing later effects.

Improved aesthetics
The teeth on the porcelain bridge are all made from high-quality porcelain materials, the color can be adjusted to match the real teeth, so it will ensure improved aesthetics after porcelain coating. In addition, the shape and size of the porcelain crown will also be designed to suit each person’s teeth, bringing beautiful, even teeth with a standard bite.
Restore chewing function
With high hardness and the ability to withstand 5 times more force than real teeth, making a porcelain bridge allows customers to comfortably eat their favorite foods without worrying about their teeth breaking or cracking.
Fast implementation time
With the porcelain bridge method, to completely restore the aesthetics and chewing function of lost teeth, it only takes about 3 – 5 days. In which, customers only need to visit the dentist twice for examination and tooth restoration.
Quite high lifespan
If customers have a reasonable diet and take care of their teeth properly, porcelain bridges can last up to 10 years in the oral cavity. Or even longer if using high-quality porcelain teeth.
3. Disadvantages of making porcelain bridges
However, porcelain bridges still have certain limitations:
Not applicable in many cases
The porcelain bridge method can only be performed if the 2 teeth next to the missing tooth are still strong enough to support the porcelain crown because it requires grinding the tooth stump. In addition, porcelain bridges cannot be applied in cases of complete tooth loss and are only suitable when 1 or a few teeth are lost because it requires the remaining teeth on the jaw to act as a support for the restoration.
Invasion of real teeth
To attach the porcelain bridge on top, the 2 teeth next to the missing tooth will have to be ground down according to a certain ratio. However, if performed by a doctor with low skills and inaccurate manipulation, the tooth structure as well as the tooth pulp can easily be affected, leading to other serious oral diseases.
Cannot prevent jaw bone loss
Although porcelain bridges are fixed, they still cannot prevent jaw bone loss caused by long-term tooth loss. The reason why the jawbone can develop normally and stably is because it is stimulated by regular chewing force. Losing the tooth root causes the jawbone to no longer receive chewing force and will disappear over time.
