It usually requires two appointments.
- At your first appointment-your dentist will prepare your teeth for the bridge. An impression of your mouth is taken. The impression is sent to the dental technician's laboratory. A temporary bridge is applied which will stay on your tooth for approximately two weeks until your new bridge is fabricated (temporary bridge serves to protect your teeth and gums).
- At your second appointment- the temporary bridge is removed and the permanent bridge is cemented in place.
