Both teeth on each side of the missing tooth will be numbed appropriately and will be prepared for crowns. Careful attention will be placed on preparing the teeth with identical line angles to help the dental ceramist create a bridge that has an easy path of insertion. A 3D scan or an impression will be taken of the teeth and a temporary bridge will be fabricated and polished. Photos will be taken and a color guide will be used to help the dental ceramist create lifelike, natural teeth so no one will detect work was done! Your next appointment will be in two weeks.
The final bridge will be tried in and assessed for function, comfort and aesthetic approval. A dental x-ray will be taken to ensure a quality fit. If all is approved, a permanent resin cement will be applied to the bridge and placed over the teeth. Any excess cement will carefully be removed and you will be instructed on how to properly clean and floss underneath your bridge.
