What does the dentist do?

Your dentist will shape your tooth or teeth in order to make them smaller and ensure that the bridge fits properly. Then an impression will be taken of the reduced tooth or teeth. During the period of waiting for the bridge to be made, your dentist will fit you with a temporary bridge to avoid any embarrassment.

When the new bridge has been made, you will attend the dentist for your second appointment and your fixed bridge will be fitted. After a few weeks if there are no problems the fixed bridge will then be cemented in permanently.

How durable is a fixed bridge?

You should make sure you go to a dentist for a regular check-up, so that any problems can be spotted and dealt with immediately.

How is a fixed bridge beneficial?

You will notice an improvement in the way you eat, although you might have to eat soft foods when the bridge is first put in, but this will only last a short while. If you’re missing tooth caused you problems with your speech, you’ll also find that this will improve.  Additional cost procedures may be required for bridges depending on a case by case basis.
