During the initial visit, your dentist will administer a local anaesthetic. Once it takes effect, your dentist will reshape the teeth on either side of the gap to prepare to anchor the bridge.
The dentist will then take a scan of the area where the bridge will be placed. This scan is sent to a local laboratory where a technician will create your custom-made bridge. Your dentist will fit a temporary bridge while you wait for your permanent one.
Your dentist will remove the temporary bridge and insert your bespoke-made, permanent bridge, checking it fits correctly before cementing it in place.
No. With regular brushing and flossing, along with twice-yearly visits to your hygienist for professional cleaning, your bridge should last for at least 10 years.
A dental bridge is a safe and affordable option for missing tooth replacement. Call us on 01925 266 488 for a consultation and assessment.
