Why does a bridge take more than one appointment?+
It is made to measure. Support is prepared and records are taken first, then the finished piece has to come back for a try-in and adjustments before it is secured.
What is a temporary bridge for?+
It may protect prepared teeth and maintain your appearance while the final restoration is being made. Not every plan will need the same interim step, so ask what yours involves.
Do I need an impression, or can you scan?+
Bridges can be planned from impressions or scans. Ask your dentist which is planned for your visit, particularly if you have found impressions difficult in the past.
How is the colour matched to my teeth?+
Shade details are recorded as part of the design and considered alongside the shape of the replacement teeth. Tell your dentist early if whitening is something you are considering.
What if the bridge does not feel right at the try-in?+
That is one purpose of the try-in. Your dentist reviews the fit and makes adjustments before final attachment, so please describe anything that seems off.
