Porcelain Fixed Bridges in Surrey
Restore Your Smile, Confidence, and Oral Function
At Heavenly Dental in Surrey, we offer porcelain fixed bridges to replace missing teeth and restore the strength, appearance, and functionality of your smile. A dental bridge is a dependable, non-surgical option that feels natural and helps maintain your bite, speech, and facial symmetry; while giving you the confidence to smile again.
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a custom prosthetic used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of an artificial tooth (called a pontic) that is supported by crowns attached to the neighboring natural teeth or dental implants. Porcelain is commonly used for bridges because it blends in beautifully with your natural teeth.
By closing the gaps in your smile, bridges restore chewing function, improve appearance, and prevent dental complications caused by missing teeth.
Why You Might Need a Dental Bridge
Fixed bridges are a common and effective solution for tooth loss. They can:
- Improve your ability to chew and speak clearly
- Maintain the natural shape of your face
- Prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of alignment
- Support jawbone structure and gum health
- Boost your self-esteem with a complete, attractive smile
For many patients, dental bridges offer a less invasive and more affordable alternative to dental implants, with long-lasting results.
Materials Used for Dental Bridges
Bridges can be made from a variety of materials, including:
- Porcelain: Best for front teeth due to its natural appearance
- Zirconia or metal alloys: Ideal for strength and durability
- Gold or silver: Durable options, though less commonly used today in visible areas
Your dentist will recommend the most suitable material based on your smile goals, bite needs, and budget. Porcelain is often preferred for its lifelike finish and resistance to staining.
Types of Dental Bridges We Offer
At Heavenly Dental, we provide several types of bridges depending on your individual case:
- Traditional Bridge: The most common type, anchored with crowns on both sides of the gap.
- Maryland Bridge: Uses a metal or porcelain framework bonded behind the adjacent teeth—minimal alteration required.
- Cantilever Bridge: Used when there is only one adjacent tooth for support. Less common but still suitable in select cases.
Your dentist will guide you in choosing the best type of bridge for long-term comfort, function, and aesthetics.
How Long Do Dental Bridges Last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a porcelain bridge can last 15 to 20 years or more.
To care for your bridge:
- Brush and floss daily, especially around the bridge area
- Use floss threaders or water flossers for easier access
- Avoid chewing on very hard foods or non-food items
- Schedule professional cleanings and exams every 6 months
Protecting the supporting teeth is key to the longevity of your bridge.
Are Dental Bridges Covered by Insurance?
Yes many dental insurance plans cover some or all of the cost of a dental bridge, especially when the procedure is deemed medically necessary. At Heavenly Dental, we’ll help you understand your coverage and provide a clear breakdown of costs and options.

Porcelain Crowns in Surrey
Restore Strength, Beauty, and Function to Your Smile
At Heavenly Dental in Surrey, we offer porcelain dental crowns to restore and protect teeth that have been weakened, damaged, or treated with procedures like root canals. Porcelain crowns provide a durable, lifelike solution that blends beautifully with your natural teeth; helping you regain both confidence and function.
What Is a Dental Crown?
A dental crown (often called a “cap”) is a custom-made cover that fits over a damaged or compromised tooth. It restores the tooth’s shape, size, strength, and appearance—allowing you to bite and chew comfortably while improving the look of your smile.
You may need a dental crown if you have:
- A tooth with a large filling that weakens its structure
- A tooth that has undergone a root canal
- A cracked, broken, or severely worn-down tooth
- A discolored or misshapen tooth affecting your smile
Once placed, your crown functions just like a natural tooth and helps protect the underlying structure from further damage.
How the Porcelain Crown Procedure Works
Getting a porcelain crown typically involves two appointments:
Visit 1: Preparation & Temporary Crown
- Local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort.
- The tooth is shaped to make room for the crown.
- Impressions are taken for your custom crown.
- A temporary crown is placed to protect the tooth.
Visit 2: Permanent Crown Placement
- The temporary crown is removed.
- The porcelain crown is checked for color, shape, and bite alignment.
- After any necessary adjustments, the crown is securely bonded in place.
In some cases, you may need additional treatments—such as gum care, orthodontic adjustments, or a root canal; before the crown can be placed.
Types of Crowns We Offer
At Heavenly Dental, we help you choose the best crown based on the location of the tooth, your oral health, and cosmetic goals. Options include:
- Porcelain Crowns: Natural-looking and ideal for front teeth
- Zirconia Crowns: Ultra-strong, aesthetic, and metal-free
- Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal (PFM): Strength of metal with a porcelain exterior
- Composite Resin Crowns: Aesthetic and budget-friendly, though less durable
- Gold or Metal Crowns: Extremely durable and great for back teeth, but not tooth-colored
We’ll explain the pros and cons of each material to help you make an informed decision.
How Long Do Porcelain Crowns Last?
Porcelain crowns are highly durable and can last 10 years or more with good oral hygiene.
To extend the life of your crown:
- Brush and floss daily, especially around the crown
- Avoid chewing hard objects (ice, pens, fingernails)
- Wear a nightguard if you grind or clench your teeth
- Keep up with regular dental checkups and cleanings
A well-maintained crown can protect your smile for many years.
