First Visit: Preparation and Temporary Tooth Bridge Procedure
During the first visit, the dentist will examine your teeth and determine if you’re suitable for dental bridge work. If so, the dentist will discuss the various types of dental bridges, explaining their advantages and disadvantages, cost, and other considerations.
Next, the dentist will prepare your teeth to receive the dental bridges. The dentist may remove some of the enamel from the abutment teeth to prepare them for the crowns. The dentist will also take impressions of your teeth based on which they’ll prepare the dental crowns and bridges. Finally, the dentist will give you a temporary tooth bridge to wear while the permanent dental bridges are prepared.
Second Visit: Permanent Dental Bridge Procedure
The dentist will remove the temporary tooth bridge and insert the new porcelain bridges in place. The dentist will adjust and move the permanent dental bridge to ensure they fit perfectly. Once the dental bridge is in place, the dentist may make some final adjustments. The dentist may ask you to return for some follow-up sessions to ensure the dental bridge is fitted well.
