Porcelain Fixed Bridges
Virginia Beach Cosmetic Dentistry
PORCELAIN FIXED BRIDGES SERVICES IN VIRGINIA BEACH
A porcelain fixed bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth.
There are several types of bridges. You and your dentist will discuss the best options for your particular case. The “traditional bridge” is the most popular type and is usually made of porcelain fused to metal. Porcelain fixed bridges are most popular because they resemble your natural teeth. This type of bridge consists of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth.
Reasons for a porcelain fixed bridge:
- Fill space of missing teeth.
- Maintain facial shape.
- Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
- Restore chewing and speaking ability.
- Restore your smile.
- Upgrade from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental appliance.
What does getting a porcelain fixed bridge involve?
Getting a bridge usually requires two or more visits. While the teeth are numb, the two anchoring teeth are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to allow for a crown. Next, a highly accurate impression (mold) is made which will be sent to a dental laboratory where the bridge will be fabricated. In addition, a temporary bridge will be made and worn for several weeks until your next appointment.
At the second visit, you permanent bridge will be carefully checked, adjusted, and cemented to achieve a proper fit. Occasionally, your dentist may only temporarily cement the bridge, allowing your teeth and tissue time to get used to the new bridge. The new bridge will be permanently cemented at a later time.
You will receive care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment. Proper brushing, flossing and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new permanent bridge.
How long do porcelain fixed bridges last?
The lifespan of a dental bridge can vary depending on several factors, including the type of bridge, your oral hygiene, and how well the bridge was designed and installed. On average, a dental bridge can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or even longer in some cases. Here are some factors that can influence the longevity of a dental bridge:
- Type of bridge: There are different types of dental bridges, including traditional bridges, cantilever bridges, and Maryland bridges. Traditional bridges are usually more durable and can last longer compared to the other types.
- Oral hygiene: Proper oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, is essential to the longevity of a dental bridge. Good oral hygiene helps prevent the buildup of plaque and dental issues that can compromise the bridge’s integrity.
- Material used: The materials used in the construction of the bridge can affect its longevity. Porcelain-fused-to-metal bridges are known for their strength and durability, while all-porcelain bridges can also be long-lasting.
- Clenching and grinding: Habits like teeth clenching or grinding (bruxism) can put extra stress on the bridge and the supporting teeth. If you have bruxism, your dentist may recommend a night guard to protect the bridge from damage.
- Bridge design and fit: A well-designed and properly fitted bridge is more likely to last longer. Ensure that your dentist has the necessary expertise and uses high-quality materials in the construction of the bridge.
- Supporting teeth: The health of the teeth that support the bridge is crucial. If the supporting teeth develop decay or gum disease, it can affect the stability of the bridge.
- Diet: Be mindful of the foods you consume. Avoid excessively hard or sticky foods that can put extra stress on the bridge or lead to its dislodgment.
If a dental bridge becomes damaged or fails, it may need to be replaced or repaired by a dentist. Regular dental check-ups are essential to monitor the condition of the bridge and address any issues early to extend its lifespan. We can provide guidance on how to care for your specific dental bridge and maximize its longevity!

I have to say I love going to the dentist! When you go in the first thing I noticed was everyone working there was happy having fun enjoying their job which I think is very important. I personally love going in there, joking around having fun and guess what they do a great job on crowns fillings whatever you may need. I highly recommend them for any of your dental needs

Normally, a trip to the dentist feels like the beginning of a horror movie: cold lights, buzzing drills, and childhood flashbacks. But this clinic completely changed my mind. From the front desk to the doctors and assistants — everyone is so friendly that you almost want to stop by just for a coffee and a chat.Dr. Shuck is a whole story on his own. Smiling, patient, and with a fantastic sense of humor. At the same time, he’s a true professional: he works thoroughly, quickly, and with such care that even my inner “I’m terrified of dentists” voice said, “Okay, let’s give this a try.”Hygienist Lissi is out of this world. I’ve been getting cleanings for years, in different cities and even countries, but the cleaning she gave me was hands down the best I’ve ever had. So gentle, comfortable, and effective — I actually walked out feeling like my teeth were shining brighter than the lamp in the treatment room.Bottom line: the clinic is amazing, the staff is golden, and the experience was nothing but positive. If there were a rating for “dentistry without fear and pain,” I’d give them 100 out of 10. Highly recommend — even to those who fear dentists more than horror movies.

As new patients, my daughter and I were treated well from start to finish! I did not feel like a stranger. All staff were friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable. Not only were they kind to us, but also to one another. We were seen on time for our appointments. The technology was current. The physical space was clean and inviting. The dentist and hygienist provided us with what we needed to make informed decisions regarding future care.UPDATE: I had to have an old root canal removed today. Yet again, everyone was wonderful. The attentiveness, patience. skill, and compassion demonstrated by everyone involved was deeply appreciated.

I have seen several of the hygienists and they are all very good and thorough. I've seen both Dr. Shuck and Dr. Dorman, and have been very pleased with my dental care. Both docs have great personalities and are very personable. They also listen to the patient which I have found to be in short supply in the dental field. Really a great office to receive your dental care.

5 years later and they are still the best! Had a molar filling from 30 years ago break down, so another crown was needed. This was a one-visit-fix! Digital measurements were taken, the molar was prepped to be a post for the new crown, and the new crown was fabricated in the office, placed and ready to go. No off adjust on, off adjust back on, all done in one seamless event. Dr. Dorfman and assist were kind, gentle, and responsive.Additional staff in the office and everyone was friendly, smiling, and the vibe was focused on taking care of people. Highly recommend!Terrible tooth/jaw pain increasing over a couple of days. The folks here got me an appointment within 24 hours. At the appointment, Dr. Dorfman and Jenny methodically went through all the potential causes, settled on the least invasive of checking/adjusting a crown, and proceeded to do so. Very gentle handling. I left with a primary plan, and a secondary plan. Great service!

I’ve been going here for maybe 15 years now, and these people are always ready to help you in an emergency. The reason I started going here was because they can give you a crown the same day that you come into the office with their advanced 3-D printer. I had a cleaning yesterday with Kristy and then an examination by Dr. Dorfman. I always leave knowing that they have given me thorough exam.

My regular hygienist was not available and I was seen by Sarah or (Sara) who subbed for Melissa. I must say Melissa is awesome and I lost nothing with Sarah. They both were very respectful understanding that I did not exercise the best dental hygiene in my youth. Dr. Dorfman is an outstanding dentist who takes his time in explaining each procedure. The entire office is very friendly and considerate.

I’ve been a patient here my entire life, and I’m so grateful for the fabulous dental care The Art of Dentistry provides! Today, Dr. Shuck filled my first (and hopefully only) cavity. It was 100% painless and so quick! Everything turned out perfectly even though I started involuntarily swallowing for no reason except that I swallowed once and then panicked that I had messed everything up and then proceeded to apologize which also caused a bit of unhelpful intraprocedural movement. Dr. Shuck was faster than my unintentional attempts at disaster, and my tooth looks and feels perfect! I cannot even see the filling!Everybody here is awesome, and I’m so very thankful for this amazing team!

This is by far the best dental experience I have ever had. The hygenist was pleasant and thorough when I got my cleaning. Then I had to get two caps and two filling redone. I never had caps or any other extensive dental work. I have had two caps, done, and two fillings redone over the past month. The drilling was quick, the caps are perfect, and so are the fillings. Recovery is quick and painless as well. I never even felt the needle go in for numbing. During the break waiting for the cap to be made, I fell asleep in the dental chair, that is how relaxing this place is. For a dental visit, it was the best I have ever experienced. I recommend them 100%!!!

This was the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist office. The team is so warm and welcoming! I had problems with bleeding gums and just as they said, the bleeding stopped after I went to them and they took such great care of me during my cleaning. I also had a small gap in my bottom teeth that was bugging me and it went away two weeks later because my gums were so healthy from the cleaning. I am just so impressed! I have healthier gums,cleaner,whiter teeth and by far felt the most amazing I’ve ever felt leaving the dentist office! I highly recommend them 🥰

My recent visit was for an old crown that had fallen off. I wasn’t in any pain, so when I booked the appointment I told them I was ok with the next available which was in December, they offered to call if there were any cancellations. The next morning they called to offer an appointment that day at 2:00. I agreed and as always everything went perfectly from the phone calls to the reception, the procedure ( Dr. Dorfman and his assistant are thorough and want to insure you are comfortable) to the check out. I have been a patient of Dr. Dorfman’s since 2017 and have never had a bad experience. If you are looking for a new dentist, don’t hesitate to contact them, the practice is top notch all the way around.Thank you Art of Dentistry you all are awesome!!!

The Art of Dentistry has been my family's go-to dental practice for over three years, consistently delivering exceptional care. Recently, my hygienist retired, and I was slightly apprehensive about the transition. However, Brittany seamlessly stepped in and exceeded my expectations! Her professionalism, gentle touch, and thoroughness made my latest appointment a breeze. She did a phenomenal job with my entire oral care, leaving my teeth feeling squeaky clean and my mouth feeling fresh. I'm actually looking forward to my next appointment! Awesome job, Brittany and The Art of Dentistry team!

This is going to be LONG!My PCP found that I had an infection due to a toothache that was going on for about a month, so I was scheduled in for an ASAP dental appointment. I was devastated knowing that my little tiny tooth in the front that was causing me so much pain was cracked in 2 places causing me to have an infection in my gums. Let me tell you when Dr. Dorfman and his Assistant Chloe gave this 41 year old momma the news that my tooth couldn't be saved, they saw me cry like a big ol' baby. It was a hard pill to swallow. I was scared and I was a wreck but they took care of me emotionally! Even his coordinator Lee, was so kind to allow me to vent on over the phone, she was so patient with me and took the time to explain things to me so I wouldn't be so scared. It put me in a better spot mentally.Fast forward, I just got my tooth pulled on July 23rd, surgery went smoothly and I actually didn't cry at all. There was a mishap with my flipper/partial and yes I was frustrated but they went above and beyond to make sure I would have my smile again until I get my partial & implant done! Chris, was amazing helping put my temp retainer in, to adjusting it and she also made sure to fix my night guard properly bc I still grind at night like crazy. 🤦🏽♀️Another thing, all of the front desk staff are so kind and welcoming, but my girl Lee is the BEST idk but God surely made her such a patient person. She made me feel at ease Everytime we spoke! And sweet Chloe, girlfriend although I wasn't on the beach that day, you made me feel so comfortable! Dr Dorfman, YOU ARE THE MAN!!! When I tell I told him I put my trust in him, I literally put my whole trust in him and he rocked! He took great care of me from the beginning. He tried to be as gentle as possible, there was a lot of infection in there, and he explained post-op care in laymen's terms for me to understand. He answered every question I had and he made sure to rush my temp retainer so I would have my smile back! We even joked around because that's my only coping mechanism. I said Lord Jesus here he comes! And he said "Lord Jesus"! 🤣🤣🤣 It was hilarious and made me feel comfortable!Finally, it's going to be a long journey since I'm getting a tooth implant but I am so glad my journey is with this crew!!! They are amazing!!!Here's my before and after! They did an amazing job on my temporary retainer bc NO ONE noticed that my tooth is actually gone!I felt extremely confident and happy. I can't wait to get my tooth Implant, because I know they will do an amazing job!!!

We have been going to The Art of Dentistry for 40 years. This includes myself, husband, son and father. Dr. Abbey Horowitz took care of us until he retired. The practice has been cultivated into a wonderful caring team from the office staff to the hygienists with Dr. Darren Dorfman and Dr. Ryan Shuck at the helm. I am so thrilled to now have straight teeth from a 3-1/2 year Invisalign plan! This shows the perseverance and compassion of this practice in giving their patients the best possible care and outcomes. My husband's plan, though, only took a year! Yesterday, my Steve and I just had our cleanings with Nancy and Abbey, both excellent hygienists, very caring and professional. We continue to look forward to seeing Dr. Dorfman and the rest of the team for all our dental needs!

I have never had a fear of going to the dentist, however the last office I visited really did a number on me both physically and mentally. In search of another new office, I came across The Art of Dentistry, and there is no looking back. The front office staff was warm and welcoming and made the check in process a breeze. All of the hygienists and techs I have had the pleasure of working with so far have been so wonderful; they are just as knowledgable as the dentists, they are welcoming, patient, understanding, flexible, and so much more. I also had the pleasure of working with Dr. Shuck for an intake exam, cleaning, filling and crown. He ensured my comfort the entire time and continued to remind me that during my appointment, I was in control of when to take breaks and such. He regularly checked in, added a dash of humor throughout the appointment, and really assisted overall in overcoming any nerves that came up. I am so blessed to now be a patient of Dr. Shuck and his team and look forward to the future of my dental health!

I have been a patient of this dental office for over 20 years. They are the absolute best! Dr. Horwitz is very professional, yet personable and makes each visit fun. Melissa (Lissy) has been my dental hygienist for years. She's awesome as well. I highly recommend this dental practice! Ramona5/14/24 Visit - I still highly recommend this dental practice, but I have two suggestions. Please remove the notice requesting that patients not inquire or comment about about the death of Dr. Horwitz. It made me sad to be reminded of his death when I arrived for my appointment on Tuesday. If someone inquires or comments, perhaps that person could be told that inquiries or comments make the staff sad or uncomfortable, rather than signs being posted to that effect. My second suggestion is that patients not be referred to by their first names, unless they have requested it. I did not like the dentist doing so. You're still the best!

It's my first time with The Art of Dentistry and I am so glad that I have chosen them. From the front desk staff to the check out staff, they are all friendly.

I’ve had the pleasure of being a patient with The Art of Dentistry for approximately 39 years and not once have I ever questioned or worried about the care that I was receiving. It’s the one place that I go where piece of mind goes hand-in-hand with the procedure or cleaning. I can say enthusiastically without a doubt, The Art of Dentistry will be my dentist as long as I have teeth. I wouldn’t trust anyone else the way I trust them. PERIOD.

Went here at the recommendation of family members. Was looking for a new dentists’ office and was very pleased with my experience. I requested an appointment online and someone called to schedule the next day, and they were able to fit me in within the month. Most places near me were/are booked out 3+ months. My hygienist and dentist were wonderful, along with everyone else I encountered in the office. They were very thorough, and efficient, and explained everything to me, unlike other offices I’ve gone to in the past. They aren’t even in network with my insurance, but I will continue to go to this practice just because of the great service I received there. If anyone I know is looking for a new dental practice, I will be recommending The Art of Dentistry, they were great.

My daughter recently had fillings done by Dr. Shuck and team. Dealing with an anxious 9 year old is no small feat and they handled her expertly with a mixture of humor and understanding. Thank you Dr. Shuck, Brandi and Carrie, y’all are the best of the best!
