Question 1

Bridge or implant — which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Both are excellent. An implant preserves the most bone and doesn't touch neighboring teeth; a bridge is faster, non-surgical, and often less costly. We'll walk through both options at your consultation.

Question 2

How many visits does it take?

Accepted Answer

Typically two visits — one to prep and scan, one to bond the final bridge a couple of weeks later.

Question 3

How do I clean under a bridge?

Accepted Answer

With a floss threader or water flosser. We'll show you the technique and confirm you're comfortable before you leave.

Question 4

How long do bridges last?

Accepted Answer

A well-cared-for ceramic bridge typically lasts 10 to 15+ years.

Question 5

Is it painful?

Accepted Answer

The prep is done under local anesthesia and is comfortable. Mild sensitivity for a day or two afterward is normal.
