Bridges
What is a bridge?
A bridge is a dental restoration that fills space where one or more teeth are missing. Bridges can be made from many different types of materials depending on the location, function, and patient preference.
Why do I need a bridge?
- To replace a missing tooth
- To replace an old bridge
How many appointments will I need?
Bridges take about two appointments to complete. At the first appointment, your teeth are prepared to receive a bridge and an impression of your mouth is sent to a dental lab. The dental lab takes about two weeks to fabricate your new bridge. In the meantime, you will be wearing a temporary bridge. At the second appointment, we remove your temporary bridge and cement your permanent bridge.
