If you’re looking for a zirconia fixed bridge in the Aurora, CO & Westminster, CO area, but haven’t learned a lot about the process of getting one, you may be wondering where to look first. Well, look no further than at Dental Associates of Aurora, where all of Dr. Lee’s staff are experts in installing partial and fixed bridges.
A bridge is essentially a set of dental crowns that are fixed to your existing teeth. These false teeth are fixed to two existing crowns, all of which attach over a metal base. This means that zirconia fixed bridges attach to your existing teeth, rather than your jawbone: whether you’re just missing a few teeth or if you’re missing a lot of them, this may be a welcome restoration to your mouth!
The process of getting zirconia fixed bridges at Dental Associates of Aurora isn’t that different from getting full mouth dental implants at our office: you sign up for a day of surgery, and you get the same dramatic results as full mouth implants. We’ll begin by taking advanced scans of your jaw and mouth so that we know exactly what we have to work with, and from there, we build your ideal plan. We’ll also use these scans to create just the right bridge for your needs: in our in-house crown and bridge laboratory, we build these zirconia restorations for each patient, so we know a thing or two about restoring teeth!
Getting your fixed bridges from our in-house crown and bridge laboratory also makes your wait much shorter, because there’s no need to visit a second location or rely on a third party for quality, and you’ll have ultimate control over the finished product.
Our two on-staff crown and bridge technicians have more than 80 years of experience, meaning that there isn’t a better place to be found in the Denver area for crowns and bridges!
We even offer intraoral cameras, which will provide the best view of your surrounding teeth and can match your new teeth precisely to your existing ones.
At Dental Associates of Aurora, we provide a variety of advantages to getting your zirconia fixed bridges from us: from our in-house crown, bridge and denture lab to our digital X-rays and 3D imaging system for implant placement.

We even offer free consultations, meaning that it costs you nothing to find out what we can do for your mouth! Whether you’re just missing one or two teeth or a whole arch of them, we can help you at Dental Associates of Aurora!
A traditional bridge often relies on neighboring natural teeth for support. A zirconia fixed bridge attaches to dental implants instead, so it doesn’t rely on your remaining teeth and offers considerably more strength and durability.
Most patients find the opposite — zirconia’s color-matching and lifelike shaping make it one of the most natural-looking options available, without the visible metal some older restorations show.
Candidacy depends mainly on jawbone density and gum health. If you’re missing most or all of your teeth in an arch, it’s worth discussing alongside full mouth dental implants at a consultation.
With proper care, zirconia restorations are built to last many years thanks to their resistance to chipping and staining, outperforming many other bridge materials over time.
No — it’s permanently secured to your implants and isn’t taken out for cleaning the way an overdenture is. It’s cared for similarly to natural teeth, with regular brushing and checkups.
Cost depends on your specific case, including how many implants are needed. Our cost and comparison page covers what affects the price, and we provide a personalized estimate at your free consultation.
