After discussing options for restoring his lower right quadrant, he elected to have me restore his teeth with a 4 unit fixed bridge. I made 3 teeth with porcelain and did the last molar in metal. Since the last tooth doesn&#8217;t show, I did it in metal because there was not much space and if I used porcelain he would fracture the porcelain off with his clenching and grinding. This bridge looks great and is strong and will last.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1186\" src=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge-264x300.jpg\" alt=\"bridge\" width=\"264\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge-264x300.jpg 264w, https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge.jpg 743w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 264px) 100vw, 264px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1187\" src=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge2-276x300.jpg\" alt=\"bridge2\" width=\"276\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge2-276x300.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge2.jpg 685w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 276px) 100vw, 276px\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0 <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1188\" src=\"http:\/\/caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge3-300x218.jpg\" alt=\"bridge3\" width=\"300\" height=\"218\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge3-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.caringdentists.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/bridge3.jpg 370w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This patient I saw today, grinds and clenches his teeth, and as a result he has broken and worn down all his teeth.
