InDirect Composites - Encore Bridge

A metal-free, dual component system offered as a substitute to conventional Maryland bridge technique, thus eliminating aesthetic and mechanical concerns associated with the metal base Maryland bridge restoration.

Using the FibreKor® technology of fiber-reinforced composite bridge material, a pressable ceramic pontic veneer is fabricated and independently attached to the bridge material frame.

Dream Smile founder Roobik (Rick) Ebrahimi-CDT, a 25 years veteran of the dental industry has influenced the development of the “Encore™ Bridge” technology that is now considered an industry standard.
