Non-Metal Bridges
Dental bridges are a popular solution for replacing missing teeth and come in various materials, including metal and non-metal options. At Justison & Gladnick Family Dentistry, we specialize in providing non-metal bridges, as they offer several advantages in terms of aesthetics and biocompatibility.
Metal Bridges
Metal bridges may be made from alloys containing gold, nickel, or chromium and are known for their strength and durability. However, their metallic color can be a significant disadvantage for patients concerned about a natural look, as they do not blend seamlessly with natural teeth.
Non-Metal Bridges
Non-metal bridges, such as those made from porcelain or zirconia, are favored for their aesthetic appeal. These materials can be matched to the color of your natural teeth, providing a more discreet and attractive appearance.
While non-metal bridges might not be as strong as metal ones, they are sufficiently durable for most patients and offer superior aesthetic results. These types of bridges are also appropriate for patients who prefer metal-free dentistry.

Absolutely – a nice smile is a key part of looking and feeling your best. It even adds to your self-confidence and self-esteem. You see, excessively worn front teeth age a smile (some may even suspect you wear a denture!). They often chip and crack, leaving uneven edges. Worn teeth can be lengthened and chipped or damaged areas corrected using advanced dental materials.
