To meet the needs and use porcelain dental bridges, the main prerequisite is to have healthy adjacent teeth to be able to grind tooth stumps and make bridges.

Step 2: Anesthetize and grind the tooth base. Before grinding the tooth pulp, the doctor will anesthetize the area that needs treatment. Then, grind the tooth base according to the calculated ratio and ensure accuracy during the process without invading the real teeth too much.
Step 3: Take a jaw impression and attach the molars. After grinding the tooth pulp, the doctor will take an impression of the jaw and transfer all information to the lab. At the same time, the doctor will attach temporary teethwhile waiting for the porcelain crown.
Step 4: Attach the porcelain bridge. The doctor attaches the porcelain crown and checks that the crown matches the tooth abutment as well as the bite to ensure the patient is comfortable eating and drinking.

Ceramic crown material
Currently there are two popular types of porcelain crowns: metal-ceramic crowns and all-ceramic crowns. However, the choice of porcelain crown also significantly affects the durability of the bridge.
- Metal ceramic teeth: This is a line of porcelain teeth with an inner frame and made of different alloys. The outer layer is covered with ceramic layer. However, metal-ceramic teeth are not as aesthetically pleasing and do not achieve the same transparent color as real teeth.
- All-ceramic teeth: Have an inner frame and outer layer made from 100% pure porcelain not mixed with other alloys. The durability of this porcelain tooth is up to 20 years, so the price of this line of porcelain teeth is higher than that of metal porcelain teeth. Currently, the porcelain teeth lines Emax, Cercon, Lava, Zirconia, etc. are the most popular porcelain teeth lines in cosmetic porcelain dental implants.
