The Process of Getting a Dental Bridge
The process will proceed as follows:
1. Preparation of Abutment Teeth: The teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth) are prepared by removing a small amount of enamel to accommodate the crowns that will hold the bridge in place.
2. Impression Taking: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a precise model for the fabrication of your custom bridge. Temporary bridges may be placed to protect the exposed teeth and gums while your permanent bridge is being made.
3. Bridge Placement: Once your custom bridge is ready, it will be carefully fitted and adjusted for comfort and functionality. Our dentist will ensure that it fits perfectly and matches the appearance of your natural teeth before permanently cementing it in place.
1. Consultation: During your initial visit, we will assess your dental needs and discuss your goals for the treatment.
2. Preparation: The surface of your tooth is lightly etched, and a conditioning liquid is applied to ensure the bonding material adheres properly.
3. Application: The composite resin is applied, shaped, and sculpted to the desired form.
4. Curing: A special light is used to harden the resin.
5. Finishing Touches: The bonded tooth is polished to a smooth, natural finish.
