A Long-Term Solution for Full Arch Restoration
Unlike traditional dentures or porcelain-fused-to-metal bridges, a Zirconia Fixed Bridge is designed to be both beautiful and strong. Here’s why more patients are choosing this advanced full arch solution:
- Traditional Dentures & Hybrids: Often use acrylic bases and porcelain teeth that can chip, wear, or stain.
- PFM Bridges: Metal interiors can show through at the gumline, and porcelain can break over time.
- Zirconia Bridges: Precision-milled from a single block, offering superior strength and seamless esthetics.
- At Elite Dental Specialists, we fabricate zirconia bridges in partnership with top labs using CAD/CAM technology for a custom fit tailored to your bite, gumline, and facial features.
Replace Both Teeth & Roots with Implant Support
A Zirconia Fixed Bridge is secured using 4 to 6 dental implants that replace the function of natural tooth roots—stimulating your jawbone and preventing bone loss. The result?
- Strong, natural bite function
- Full restoration of your smile’s structure
- Facial support to prevent premature aging
- A beautiful, permanent smile you don’t take out at night

- Facial shape

FAQ
1. How much does a zirconia fixed bridge cost in Houston, TX?
Full arch zirconia bridges typically range from $20,000–$30,000 per arch, depending on the number of implants needed, whether extractions or grafting are required, and the level of customization. Many patients finance their treatment for as low as $249/month, and all PPO insurance plans are accepted to help reduce out-of-pocket costs.
2. How long does a zirconia fixed bridge last?
Zirconia bridges are engineered for exceptional longevity. With proper oral hygiene and routine checkups, they can last 20+ years or even a lifetime. Zirconia is resistant to staining, fractures, chips, and wear—making it one of the most durable full mouth restoration materials available today.
3. Is a zirconia fixed bridge better than a hybrid denture?
For many patients, yes. Hybrid dentures typically use an acrylic base and composite or acrylic teeth, which wear down faster and may stain, chip, or break over time.
A zirconia fixed bridge is:
-
Stronger and longer-lasting
-
More natural-looking (no plastic or acrylic)
-
Fully resistant to odors and staining
-
Permanently attached—never removed
-
More stable and precise
While hybrids are more affordable, zirconia is widely considered the gold standard for full arch implant restorations.
4. How many implants are needed for a zirconia fixed bridge?
Most full arch zirconia bridges are supported by 4 to 6 implants per arch, depending on bone density, bite forces, and your individual treatment plan. Dr. Obeidi uses 3D CBCT imaging to determine the ideal placement for long-term strength and function.
5. Can I get a temporary smile the same day the implants are placed?
Yes. Most patients receive a same-day temporary bridge or provisional set of teeth on the day of implant placement. This allows you to leave the office with a full smile during your healing period while your final zirconia bridge is being crafted.
6. Is the procedure painful?
Patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the experience is. With local anesthesia, sedation options, and minimally invasive implant placement, discomfort is typically mild and manageable. Most patients return to normal routines within a few days.
7. Who is a candidate for a zirconia fixed bridge?
You may be a candidate if you:
-
Are missing most or all of your teeth
-
Have failing crowns, bridges, or dentures
-
Want a permanent, non-removable solution
-
Have adequate bone levels (bone grafting is available if needed)
-
Want a durable, esthetic solution that functions like natural teeth
A consultation with Dr. Obeidi—including digital scans and an oral evaluation—will confirm the best treatment plan for your needs.
