Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a dental bridge last?
With good oral hygiene, a bridge typically lasts 10-15 years or longer before it may need replacement.
Is getting a bridge painful?
The procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain, though some sensitivity is normal for the first couple of weeks as you adjust.
How do I clean under a dental bridge?
Special floss threaders or a water flosser are used to clean beneath the bridge daily, which your dentist will show you how to use properly.
Can a bridge be done in one visit?
No, it typically requires 2-3 appointments to prepare the teeth, take impressions, and fit the final bridge.
What's the difference between a bridge and an implant?
A bridge relies on adjacent teeth for support while an implant stands independently in the jawbone; your dentist can help determine which is better suited to your specific situation and budget.
