At Veranda Family Dentistry in Port St Lucie, we understand that you may not want to go without a tooth for very long. In many cases, we can have your dental bridge ready in as little as a few weeks.   We will take impressions of your teeth and design the dental bridge to match the shape, size, and color of your existing teeth.   We then place a temporary dental bridge so you can leave our office with a complete smile.   About two weeks later, you will return to our office to have the permanent dental bridge placed. We will remove the temporary dental bridge and check the fit of the permanent dental bridge. If everything looks good, we will then bond the dental bridge to your teeth. You will then have a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you can be proud of.
