Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a dental bridge last?
With proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits, a bridge can last 5-15 years or longer. The longevity depends on keeping the abutment teeth and bridge surface clean.
Does getting a bridge hurt?
During the preparation of the abutment teeth and while adjusting the bridge for proper bite and fit, you may experience some sensitivity or discomfort. However, modern techniques aim to minimize any discomfort that may arise. Local anesthesia will be used to ensure your comfort during the procedure.
What is the dental bridge process?
Typically, it takes two to three appointments to finish a bridge. On the first visit, the abutment teeth are prepared, and impressions are taken to make the bridge in the laboratory. At last, the bridge is cemented into position in the final appointment.
How do I take care of my dental bridge?
Brush and floss thoroughly around the bridge daily. Avoid sticky, hard foods that could dislodge or damage the bridge. See your dentist regularly to ensure proper fit and function.
How much does a dental bridge cost?
The cost depends on the type of bridge, the number of teeth involved, and the materials used. Dental insurance may cover a portion of the cost. Our office provides each patient with an estimate.
Am I a candidate for a dental bridge?
An evaluation with our dentist will determine if you have adequate bone support and healthy abutment teeth to support a bridge. We will advise the best options.
