What is a Gum Set Ceramic Bridge?
A gum set ceramic prosthesis is the most biologically conservative, aesthetic and truly advanced implant prosthesis currently available. The gum set ceramic prosthesis is different to the other implant bridges because it preserves all of your bone and even tooth roots under the gum. This way, there is no risk of bone shrinkage which keeps optimal lip support and reduces complications commonly associated with procedures such as All on four such as food packing and loss of lip contour. Gum set ceramic prosthetics are not suitable for all patients. A careful degree of assessment to determine a patients suitability is required before proceeding wit Gum set Ceramic prosthetics. Made from ceramic due to its superior physical properties compared to acrylic, it is secured to the natural contours of the patient’s gum using dental implants. This bridge represents the most advanced solution for missing teeth, utilising cutting-edge technology for full arch rehabilitation. Ceramic ensures durability and a natural look, offering the best available option for implant-supported dental solutions.

The prosthesis is fitted into the patients gums. The gum contours are preserved.

FAQ: Gum Set Ceramic Bridge
We’ve put together some of the most common dental implant questions to help you make an informed decision.
How long does the process take?
At Aria Dental, our professional preference is not to complete treatment rapidly and rush the process. Instead, we prefer to allow time for the gums to heal and for the patient to adjust to a set of temporary teeth before finalising the treatment. Making a set of gum set ceramic teeth takes much longer than an acrylic bridge; the Aria team must carefully shape and contour the gum and the teeth so that the new gum set prosthetic teeth look like they are emerging from the gum. This is the closest we can currently get to reproducing natural teeth.
The process for a gum set ceramic bridge typically spans around nine months. During the implant healing period, a temporary bridge is inserted to maintain your quality of life. The gum set ceramic bridge produces a significantly higher level of prosthetic reconstruction and requires a higher level of professional skill and artistry to complete. It takes months for the gum to contour and adapt to the changes and approximately 100 hours to handcraft your unique and individual ceramic bridge.
