The dental bridge treatment process starts with a consultation with your dentist, who will examine your teeth, jaw, and gums to determine if a dental bridge is an appropriate option for you.
If you’re a candidate for a dental bridge, Dr. Aminlari will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap. This includes removing a small amount of enamel from the teeth to make room for the bridge. The dentist will then take impressions of your teeth and gums and send them to a dental lab to create a customized bridge.
You will be given a temporary bridge as you wait for your permanent bridge to be created.
Once your dental bridge is ready, your Brighton dentist will replace your temporary bridge with a new one and cement it for a perfect fit.
Dr. Aminlari will schedule regular check-ups to monitor your dental bridge to ensure it functions well and investigate for any signs of wear and damage.
Most patients do not experience any pain during dental bridge treatment. Although your dental bridge might cause some discomfort and soreness when you first receive it, that feeling should disappear within a few days. The pain and discomfort can be managed by over-the-counter medications.
Dental bridges can be ideal if you are missing one or several consecutive teeth in one section of the mouth. To get a dental bridge, you must have good oral health, a strong and healthy jawbone, and be free from gum disease.
