During a dental bridge procedure, we'll start by numbing the area of your mouth that needs treatment. Then, MedDent will shape and file down the surrounding teeth to create room for the new fixed bridge. Impressions will be taken so that we can create both temporary and permanent bridges for you to wear after the procedure. You'll go home with the temporary one in place and need to come back for a second appointment for the permanent one. The temporary bridge is removed and the permanent one is placed securely using dental-grade adhesive. Greenwood dentists polish and adjust the new bridge and provide you with instructions on how to brush and floss around it if needed. If you think you might benefit from a dental bridge, call our office today so that our helpful staff members can further assist you!
