What is the process of getting a dental bridge?
The process of getting a dental bridge typically involves multiple steps. First, the abutment teeth on either side of the gap are prepared by removing a portion of their enamel to accommodate the bridge. Then, impressions of the teeth are taken to create a custom bridge in a dental laboratory. While the bridge is being fabricated, a temporary bridge may be placed. Once the permanent bridge is ready, it is carefully fitted and cemented onto the abutment teeth, filling the gap and restoring function and appearance.
