Liz’s Story
Problem: Fractured porcelain bridge & bruxism
Solution: Porcelain bridge combined with gold
Liz grinds and clenches at night, which caused her 4-unit porcelain bridge to fail. We combined gold on her molar because gold is a softer material that will wear like her natural teeth. The combination of porcelain and gold for the bridge allowed her to have the esthetics and strength of porcelain with the flexibility of the gold on the heavy chewing area, maximizing function and longevity.
