The process for getting a dental bridge placed is twofold. During your first visit, the abutment teeth are prepared for crowns by being filed down. After this, Dr. Jose Lopez will take impressions of the teeth that will serve as a model for the bridge, prosthetic tooth or teeth and crowns to be made. Lastly, a temporary bridge will be placed to protect the teeth until the permanent one is ready. During the second visit, the temporary bridge is removed and the new one is placed! After being put in your mouth, it will be checked and adjusted to achieve a proper fit. It is then cemented into place.
