FAQs
What are the benefits of bridges?
How does the bridge fit into my mouth?
The teeth on either side of your space will be prepared for a dental crown. Your dentist will then take a digital scan of your mouth, and the dental technician will fabricate your bridge. The bridge is then cemented using dental-specific cement.
What advantage does a bridge have over an implant?
Dental bridges are quicker, easier, and do not require surgery. Implants take up to 6 months to heal, whereas dental bridges are ready immediately. Some people may be better candidates for a bridge than they are for a dental implant due to jawbone density problems.
