Which materials are used for full-arch bridges, and why?

With full-arch bridges, great care is taken over the choice of material to guarantee both durability and aesthetics. Zirconia is a popular material because of its natural white colour and high strength. It is biocompatible, which means the body tolerates it well without irritation. Metal-ceramic bridges combine the strength of a metal framework with the natural appearance of ceramic. This provides a strong yet aesthetically pleasing solution, especially at the back of the jaw. Titanium is often used as the base material for implants because of its light weight and resistance to corrosion. The strong connection between implant and bridge keeps the construction stable for many years. Patients can choose from various materials depending on their aesthetic wishes and budget. The periodontist recommends the most suitable material based on chewing forces, aesthetics and personal preference. A durable choice ensures comfort, function and a natural-looking smile.
