Dental Bridges – Treatment Process
The process of placing a dental bridge happens in a few visits, and it requires the preparation of the teeth appliance and it's done by removing a small layer of enamel from them. Our dentist Dr. Von Boeckmann then takes impressions of these teeth and gets the dental crowns prepared in the lab. Patients are provided with temporary tooth bridges until the permanent one is placed.
During the next visit, the whole set of dental crowns and false tooth arrive at our dental practice. The placement of a dental bridge takes place. After the treatment is complete, our dentist will stay in touch with patients to check the fit and finish of dental bridges. If proper care is taken this tooth-replacement appliance can last for as many as 15 years.
