The attachment procedure usually takes as few as one appointment or two appointments to complete. At the first appointment, Dr. Mohler will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap by removing a portion of the enamel and dentin.nnSince the bridge must be fabricated very precisely to ensure correct bite and to match the opposing tooth, Dr. Mohler will either make the Bridge in the office with the CEREC or take an impression of the teeth and send it to a lab where the bridge will be constructed.nnFixed bridges are typically cemented to the natural teeth next to the space left by the missing tooth. A pontic (false tooth) replaces the lost tooth. Crowns, which are cemented onto the natural teeth, provide support for the bridge.
