Mr. Richard Alan Ekstein DMD's Expert Contributions
  • Which is better porcelain or zirconia bridge?

    Part of the answer is, where is the bridge located? if it's in the front of your mouth, Zirconia is more esthetic and more friendly to the gums. If the bridge is located in the back of your mouth, porcelain would be the better choice because it is stronger and better able to withstand the biting forces of chewing over the long term. I hope that helps. READ MORE
