Metal wings on both of the sides of the\nbridge are fixed to your surviving teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Procedure for Getting a Dental Bridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>During the first visit, the abutment teeth are grafted.\nGrafting constitutes remodeling of these teeth by clearing away a portion of\nenamel to allow some space for a crown to be planted over them. Thereafter, imprints\nof the teeth are created, which work as specimen with which the dental lab will\ncreate the bridge, pontic and crowns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the second session, your temporary bridge will be\ndeposed, and the new stable bridge will be examined and modified to attain a\nproper fit. Multiple sittings may be required to verify the suitability of the\nmetal framework and bite. If the dental implant is a fixed (permanent) bridge,\nyour dentist may momentarily fix it for a couple of weeks to make sure it is\nsuitable. After confirming, the bridge is substantially fixed into the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Precautions for Dental Bridges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It is\n     necessary to keep your existing teeth healthy and strong as the efficiency\n     of the bridge (depending on the type selected) depends upon the strong support\n     provided by the adjacent teeth.<\/li><li>Brushing\n     your teeth twice a day and daily flossing inhibits further tooth decay and\n     gum problems that can result into tooth loss.<\/li><li>Chew\n     soft foods or food cut into smaller pieces until you become habitual of\n     the dental bridge.<\/li><li>Opt\n     for a balanced, healthy and nutritious diet for better dental health.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A bridge is a tooth replacement option. It is done to\nreplace a missing tooth by joining an artificial tooth permanently to the\nadjacent teeth on each side of the missing area.
