A bridge would be custom-fabricated to fit in the gap which is left by a missing tooth. Hence, the dentist takes a highly precise mold of the teeth during the initial visit. The dental bridge would be a combination of a prosthetic tooth and two crowns, which are used for anchorage. Hence, before taking the mold, the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth are prepared for the crowns. They are cleaned and buffed, removing a thin layer of the enamel from their surface. The mold is sent to a dental laboratory, where it is used as a reference for fabricating the dental bridge.
Until the permanent bridge is finished, a temporary bridge may be fixed in position by the dentist. Temporary adhesives are used for this purpose so that it can be removed easily. The permanent bridge will be fabricated within a span of a few days. After this, the temporary bridge will be removed, and the permanent one will be bonded in place using dental adhesives. The dentist uses a curing light to harden it, makes any final adjustments, checks for the fit and comfort, and also evaluate the bite.
Though bridges are made from dental-grade ceramic, which is a pretty durable material, biting or chewing hard foods may damage them. Regular brushing and flossing would prevent staining and also increase the lifespan of the bridges.
