Frequently Asked Questions

How long do dental bridges last?

With proper care and maintenance, dental bridges typically last 10-15 years. Some bridges can last even longer with excellent oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.

Is getting a bridge painful?

The bridge procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you shouldn't feel pain during treatment. Some sensitivity is normal after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

How do I clean under my bridge?

Special floss threaders, interdental brushes, or water flossers are needed to clean under the bridge. We'll show you the proper techniques during your appointment and recommend the best cleaning tools.

Bridge vs implant - which is better?

Both have advantages. Bridges are faster and less expensive, while implants preserve adjacent teeth and last longer. We'll help you choose the best option based on your specific situation, health, and preferences.
