A temporary dental bridge is put on a patient's dental work until the permanent bridge is ready. A dental bridge is molded to the specifics of the individual's mouth, which takes time, explaining why a temporary bridge must be in place to protect the dental work.
A dental bridge is done to connect a gap made by at least one missing tooth. A traditional dental bridge involves creating a bridge between two teeth on either side of a missing tooth. Traditional dental bridges are made of porcelain fused to ceramic or metal. The process of receiving a dental bridge generally takes more than one office visit. The second visit is when the permanent bridge is put in place.
