Most often, if you are eligible for a dental implant, we will recommend this procedure because it does not require compromising healthy teeth. However, some people don’t want an implant or aren’t eligible for surgery. In this case, we will recommend having a dental bridge placed. These restorations are durable, long-lasting and can provide you with an even smile.
You will receive anesthetic of your choice to have the bridge work done. Next, the surrounding teeth will be smoothed down to provide room for the bridge to be placed on top. Dental impressions are taken by our staff and these impressions are used to create a temporary bridge and a permanent one. You will go home the very same day as your appointment with a temporary bridge. You’ll need to come back in for the permanent to be placed on top of the abutment teeth. The bridge is smoothed down to make it more comfortable and to improve your actual bite.
If you think you might need a fixed dental bridge or want to have an older bridge replaced, call our office so that our helpful staff can get you scheduled with an appointment.
