Obtaining a dental bridge necessitates multiple appointments. The first session will involve prepping the tooth if the bridge will be supported by a natural tooth. Your tooth will need to be shaped, similar to dental crowns, to act as an anchor for the bridge to have a secure ‘pier’ to sit on. After your teeth have been reshaped, your dentist will take impressions to obtain precise bite measurements for the bridge production process. While you wait for your custom bridge to be built, you’ll be given a temporary bridge. The average wait time is four weeks. After receiving your bridge, your dentist will schedule a second visit with you to place it. After inserting your bridge, they may make minor modifications to the contour to guarantee the best fit.
