Zirconia Bridges

When you're missing a tooth that shows when you smile, it can be highly embarrassing. But Dr. Chal can restore your mouth so that you can smile again with perfect confidence, knowing that no one will be able to tell you have a false tooth. It can be done with new ultra-high-strength zirconia ceramic. A photograph of two zirconia bridges in place is shown on the next page.
