Your dental bridge procedure starts with a private consultation with Dr. Saj Jivraj. During this time, he will go over treatment options for you. If dental bridges are the right fit, you and he will proceed with schedule your appointment.

As the first step, the two teeth neighboring the missing tooth—the abutment teeth—are prepped to receive the crowns by removing some enamel to make room for them. After that, dental impressions are made in order for the laboratory to make your new permanent replacement teeth. Though they will not be finished that day, Dr. Jivraj does fit you with a temporary bridge, which will function almost as well as the real thing.

Some foods are to be avoided while you have the temporary bridge. In your next visit, after it has been correctly built and adjusted as needed, your temporary bridge will get removed and the new permanent one will get placed.
