Re: non-metal bridge materials

Zirconium bridges

This type of bridge is the newest type bridge. It contains no metal and is

stronger than porcelain fused to metal bridge. It is best for the lighter shades

of teeth or when lighter porcelain veneers are also being done. It also requires

the removal of tooth structure of the adjacent teeth but not as much as

porcelain fused to metal bridge. http://www.wboc.com/Global/story.asp?S=2866662

I am starting to lean toward a Zirconium dental bridge now--to

replace my nickel bridge. Several holistic dentists in my area offer

this. However, it still makes me a bit nervous, as I am pretty sure

Zirconia is not natural to the body--but maybe the lesser of evils,

as compared with metals.

I did find a couple of dentists that can offer all-acryllic or all

composite/resin bridges, but apparently these don't last as long.

If anyone has personal knowledge of and or expererience with zirconia

bridges, please let me know.

Thanks,

andrea
