In short
How long does a porcelain bridge last?
A porcelain bridge can last 10 years or more, needing only minor repairs or adjustments during its lifespan. It fills the gap left by missing teeth with porcelain that looks and functions like a normal tooth. Treatment takes two appointments, and a temporary bridge gives comfort and protection while the permanent bridge is being made.
