What to Expect During Treatment
The process of receiving a dental bridge typically involves two visits. During the initial appointment, our prosthodontists will prepare the surrounding teeth for the bridge. This step ensures a secure and natural fit. After preparing the area, precise impressions are taken to fabricate a bridge that perfectly matches your smile. At your second appointment, the bridge is securely placed and adjusted for a comfortable fit, allowing you to enjoy restored function and aesthetics.
Long-Term Care for Your Dental Bridge
Proper care can significantly extend the life of your dental bridge. Daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are essential. Our team will guide you on maintaining your bridge and help you keep your oral health in top shape.
