What Is A
Zirconia Fixed Bridge?
Fully customized to your smile, this fixed implant bridge of teeth is fabricated from a solid block of zirconia, one of the strongest materials in dentistry. Zirconia is a hard, incredibly durable ceramic material with superior biocompatibility, meaning it won’t irritate the tissues of your mouth. Zirconia has the closest visual properties to natural teeth of any material available, with shine and translucency that will make your dental implant zirconia bridge nearly indiscernible from natural teeth.
Because your zirconia bridge will be secured with dental implants, it will restore 99% of normal biting function, meaning you’ll be able to enjoy juicy steak and even bite into a crisp apple with confidence. Where lighter-weight materials make good options for some cases, zirconia has a superior function for biting and chewing.
Reignite Your Bite
With Confidence
Your dental implant zirconia bridge will withstand everyday wear and tear and offer significantly strong bite forces without fracturing. As with all full-mouth dental implants, your full arch zirconia bridge will also protect the health of your jawbone by stimulating the bone tissue similarly to natural teeth, preventing bone loss and changes to your face shape.
Unlike acrylic dentures and even other full arch options, zirconia full-mouth dental implants won’t stain, chip, or break. They provide permanent function and beauty, just like (and often better than) healthy natural teeth. A zirconia fixed bridge secured by dental implants is truly one of the best choices for permanently replacing your failing or missing teeth.

Your New Smile
Should Look And Feel Natural
There is no beating the strength and longevity of a zirconia dental implant bridge, and its aesthetics are unbeatable with any other dental material available today. Because this incredibly durable solid ceramic material doesn’t need to be fused to a metal base like porcelain, you won’t have to worry about tissue irritation or unsightly darkness near the base of your prosthesis. Likewise, lightweight acrylic resin typically used in traditional dentures can’t compare with the shine and smooth, polished texture of full zirconia restoration. Because acrylic is slightly porous, it can collect bacteria, stains, and odor. It can also be rough on the tissues of the mouth, creating sores.
Your permanently fixed zirconia bridge will never shift or slip, and its beautiful appearance won’t fade with time. We will custom craft your full-mouth dental implant bridge to your smile specifications so that it complements your facial features, gum line, lip line, and even your skin tone. Your new teeth will also be custom colored to match your natural gums as well as shaded to the brightness you desire. If you receive a zirconia fixed bridge in Chicago, IL from our skilled cosmetic dentist, Dr. Michelle Beckerly, you can expect your brilliant new smile to last for decades. Best of all, no one will know they aren’t natural teeth!
How long does a zirconia fixed bridge last?
Zirconia fixed bridges are incredibly durable, with a lifespan of 10 to 15 years or even longer when properly maintained. Regular check-ups, good oral hygiene, and avoiding harmful habits like teeth grinding can help extend the life of your bridge.
