At the subsequent visit, the temporary bridge is removed, and the custom-made permanent bridge is carefully checked and adjusted for fit and comfort. Once satisfied with the fit, the bridge is permanently cemented into place, effectively filling the gap left by the missing tooth or teeth. Dental bridges not only restore the ability to chew and speak properly but also prevent adjacent teeth from shifting out of position, which can lead to bite problems and further dental issues.

Maintaining good oral hygiene, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, is essential to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your dental bridge. With proper care, a dental bridge can last for many years, providing a durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth and enhancing your smile. If you have missing teeth and are considering dental bridges as a treatment option, consult with your dentist to discuss whether they are suitable for your dental needs and goals.
