We take the time to address your concerns, explain the procedure in detail, and offer sedation options to help you relax and feel more comfortable throughout the bridge process.

Process
- Consultation and Treatment Planning: Schedule an appointment with your dentist to discuss the need for a dental bridge. We understand that dental procedures can cause anxiety or fear, and our team is committed to creating a supportive and comfortable environment for you. During the consultation, we will thoroughly explain the bridge process, address any concerns you may have, and answer all your questions.
- Tooth Preparation: Before starting the tooth preparation for the dental bridge, we will ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. We use local anesthesia to numb the treatment area, ensuring a painless experience. If you experience dental anxiety or have concerns about the procedure, we offer additional sedation options, such as oral sedatives or nitrous oxide (laughing gas), to help you relax.
- Impression: During the impression-taking process for the bridge, we take measures to keep you comfortable. We use materials that are well-tolerated and minimize any potential discomfort. Our experienced team will guide you through the process, ensuring that the impression is accurate while prioritizing your comfort
- Temporary Bridge Placement: While your permanent bridge is being fabricated, we will place a temporary bridge to protect the prepared teeth and maintain the appearance of your smile. We take great care to ensure that the temporary bridge is securely and comfortably placed. We provide instructions on how to care for the temporary bridge, and our team is available to address any concerns that may arise during this temporary phase.
- Bridge Fabrication: We work with reputable dental laboratories that use high-quality materials and precise techniques to create your custom bridge. Our dental team maintains open communication with the laboratory to ensure that the bridge meets our specifications and your expectations for aesthetics and fit.
- Bridge Placement: When your permanent bridge is ready, we will schedule an appointment for its placement. Throughout this process, we prioritize your comfort and well-being.
- Final Polishing: Once the bridge is securely placed, we take the time to polish it, ensuring a smooth and natural-looking surface. This final step enhances both the aesthetics and comfort of the bridge.
