What is the process for attaching a bridge?
Attaching a bridge is a process that is usually completed in just two short appointments. During the first appointment, Dr. Kun will prepare the teeth on either side of the gap to receive dental crowns. This is done using local anesthetic so that you are completely comfortable. Once the teeth have been prepared a mold is taken of the two teeth and the gap. This mold is then sent to a master technician where your dental bridge will be created. Temporary crowns will then be placed while the bridge is being created. It takes about two weeks for the dental bridge to be created. When it is finished, Dr. Kun will invite you back to his Whitehall, Pennsylvania cosmetic dentistry studio. He will remove the temporary crowns and permanently bond your dental bridge in place.
