Prettau® Zirconia Bridges and Dentures in Pembroke, ON
Restore Missing Teeth
If you’re missing more than one tooth, replacing each one with a dental implant may not be the fastest or most affordable treatment option. In these cases, Dr, Munro will likely recommend an implant-supported dental bridge or dentures to restore your smile.
At Parkview Dental, we’re proud to feature Prettau Zirconia bridges and dentures for unmatched strength and translucence. Explore our guide to discover the unique advantages of these restorations.
The Benefits of Zirconia
While traditional bridges and dentures are made from porcelain, Dr. Munro prefers using zirconia as a result of the many unique benefits it offers. Some of these include:
- Stronger
- Longer-lasting
- More translucent
- Bio-compatible
- Non-porous
Our Treatment Process
If you want to restore your smile with a dental bridge or dentures, the first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Munro. He’ll use this visit to examine your entire mouth in detail and determine which solution is the best treatment for you. He’ll also explain any supplemental procedures that will be involved in your treatment, if necessary.
Once he’s sure that you’re ready, Dr. Munro will place four to six dental implants directly in your jaw. He’ll also provide a temporary restoration so you don’t have to live with gaps in your smile while the implants heal.
As you recover, we’ll use the information from our iTero® 3D scanner to custom-design your Prettau Zirconia bridge or dentures. When your restoration is ready, you’ll return to our office so Dr. Munro can secure it to your implants. Depending on your needs, we can restore up to a full arch of missing teeth with these solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a Prettau Zirconia bridge cost?
Typically, a Prettau Zirconia bridge will cost more than a traditional porcelain bridge. However, the unique benefits and added strength of the zirconia material are well worth the investment. The total cost of this treatment can vary significantly based on how many teeth you’re replacing, whether any supplemental treatments are necessary, and other factors. For an accurate price estimate, call our practice and schedule a consultation with Dr. Munro.
How much do Prettau Zirconia dentures cost?
Although Prettau Zirconia dentures aren’t as affordable as traditional dentures, many patients agree that the extra investment is worth it. The zirconia material is much more durable than porcelain, ensuring your dentures will function more like natural teeth and last longer. The extra-translucent appearance will also help your smile stand out in a crowd.
The cost of Prettau Zirconia dentures depends on several different factors including the number of teeth you’re replacing and the number of implants required for the procedure. To get an accurate price estimate, call our office and schedule a consultation with Dr. Munro.
Why should I choose a zirconia restoration instead of porcelain?
If you want a tooth replacement that will last you for many years to come, zirconia restorations offer unmatched strength and durability. They typically last longer than porcelain restorations and they have a bright, natural appearance.
For added convenience, zirconia is a bio-inert material that’s resistant to corrosion, meaning that it won’t ever trigger chemical reactions of any kind. Zirconia crowns and bridges also require less removal of your tooth enamel, allowing you to preserve more of your natural tooth structure.
