Bridges and dentures in Alicante
Including when a prosthesis that never fitted has to be redone.
Why prosthetics fail
A prosthesis can fail through fit, through the design of the bite, or through the material. The commonest of the three is how the bite spreads the forces: where there are premature contacts, the framework or the implants carrying it end up paying for it.
Monolithic zirconia
Milled from one block, with no porcelain covering, it removes the chipping that is the commonest failure in large prosthetics. The fit is machined straight from the digital design, which cuts down the error that accumulates along the way.
If you bring a previous prosthesis, we assess it before proposing a replacement.
-
Replaces several teeth at once
A single prosthesis restores the whole missing section, in fewer visits than one implant per tooth.
-
Implant-supported, no healthy teeth shaped
An implant-supported bridge avoids loading the neighbouring teeth and slows bone loss in the gap.
-
A fixed result
Unlike a removable denture, it isn't taken out to eat or sleep.
At this clinic
Redoing prosthetics at the Luceros clinic
Before redoing anything we establish why the last one failed: fit, occlusion or material. Without that reading, the new one repeats the problem.
The framework is designed digitally and milled from a single block.
- The previous failure analysed before redoing.
- Zirconia milled from one piece.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions about this treatment
01 What's the difference between a conventional bridge and an implant-supported one?
A conventional bridge anchors by shaping down the two teeth bordering the gap. An implant-supported bridge anchors on one or two implants instead of natural teeth: it shapes nothing healthy and slows bone loss under the gap.
02 Does a conventional bridge damage the neighbouring teeth?
It requires shaping them down to fit the crowns that support it, which weakens them long-term. That's its main drawback compared with an implant-supported bridge.
03 How many teeth can a bridge replace?
It depends on the gap and the support available. When very few teeth are missing, a bridge covers the section; when an entire arch is missing, the solution is no longer a bridge but a full-arch rehabilitation.
04 Can I eat normally with a bridge?
Yes, it's a fixed prosthesis: it isn't removed to eat or sleep. Hygiene underneath it should be kept up with interdental brushes or a water flosser.
