What does getting a dental bridge involve?
During the initial consultation, the dentist conducts a comprehensive examination of your oral health, discusses your dental history, and determines if a dental bridge is the appropriate solution.
If the adjacent teeth that will support the bridge have any decay or damage, they are prepared by removing a small portion of their enamel to make space for the crowns. Precise digital impressions of your teeth are taken to create a dental bridge that fits perfectly in your mouth. While the permanent bridge is being created in a dental lab, a temporary bridge may be provided to protect the exposed teeth and gums. Once the permanent bridge is ready, Dr. Souliman checks its fit and makes any necessary adjustments to ensure a comfortable and proper bite.
The dental bridge is then bonded into place using dental cement. Proper oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, are essential for the aftercare and maintenance of your dental bridge to help ensure its functionality.
