No, it does NOT damage the Enamel :)

Time to sort fact from fiction.

One of the most exciting advancements in dentistry has been the dental implant. It's a natural-looking, usually permanent, secure way of restoring or replacing missing teeth that has allowed millions of people who have been unable to chew for years to regain the chewing ability of their youth.
In most cases, implants are titanium anchor posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone and capped with a full crown or bridge.

Metal-porcelain bridge after removal of loose central incisor

18/03/2016

A bridge is a replacement of a missing tooth or teeth. A fixed bridge is cemented in place, whereas a removable bridge can be taken out for cleaning. A bridge can be retained by adjacent teeth or implants. Although most fixed bridges have a metal substructure, all-ceramic bridges are now possible thanks to advances in ceramic materials.
Once the bridge is constructed, your dentist will try it in to evaluate its fit, color, and size and make sure your bite is correct.
Any necessary modifications can be made at this time, then reglazing or polishing is performed, and the bridge is cemented in place.

Photo 1: A conventional three-unit bridge will be used to replace the missing central incisor.
Photo 2: one tooth on either side of the missing tooth is prepared to retain the fixed bridge.
Photo 3: The metal framework of the bridge, to which porcelain will be fused, is tried in the mouth. All-ceramic frameworks are also available.
Photo 4: The final porcelain-fused-to-metal bridge is positioned over the teeth and just under the gum tissue to hide the seam between the porcelain and metal.

Your Teeth Are Unique

Bonding with composite resin was introduced approximately 50 years ago. The tooth enamel is gently etched (chemically treated) to enhance adhesion before a dentist applies layers of color-matched resin material over a stained, crooked, short, chipped, decayed, or broken tooth. A special light is then used to harden and bond it to the tooth underneath. The composite resin is then contoured and polished to look like natural enamel.

Photo 2: The enamel has been etched in preparation for the attachment of the composite resin.
Photo 3: Composite resin has been applied. Bonding is painless and can usually be accomplished in one appointment.
