12 Unit Zirconia Bridge
Posted by Carol on 10/17/2009
Because of the amazing technology from InLab Sirona Cerec unit we can now do bridges that are 12 units. Because it is Zirconia material, it has great beauty and strength. That is something you won't get from a metal-base bridge.
In this case we did an almost complete upper bridge restoration and crowns on all of the lower anterior teeth.
The ability to do this full restoration depends a lot on the dentist prepping the teeth correctly and giving us these beautiful margins.
We first create the framework for the bridge with the Inlab 3D software. This helps us smooth out sharp edges, and correct any mistakes quite easily
Because of the large size of the bridge, a support is built within the framework to keep it from breaking during the milling out of the framework.
The framework after it has been milled and sintered.
The upper zirconia framework and the lower anterior IPS e.max CAD crowns. The IPS e.max CAD material can be used as a framework made into a full-contour crown, making it a faster way to create crowns.
The product cooling down from the furnace. It is all connected together and yet it still has the detail of individual teeth.
Beautiful!
The crowns were made to not only be beautiful but to also look as natural as possible. They fit to the curve of the mouth and according to the size of the original teeth.
The dentist said that the bridge fit easily into the mouth and that the patient loves the new teeth. This truly is an amazing feat in dentistry.

"We have enjoyed working with Matt and his team. They have always been able to work with our patients by getting a flipper made in one day, or a denture in three days when in an emergency. His prices are very competitive, which is important to us and our patients. It is often said that you can tell what kind of a man someone is by the car he drives. Lakeview has a smart car, need I say more?"
