Bridges Overview
Replace your missing teeth.
If you are missing teeth or need an extraction and want to replace the tooth, a bridge may be an option for restoration. If the teeth are already missing, preparation can be made, and a temporary bridge will be placed. In this case, the bridge can usually be seated within 2 weeks.
If the tooth needs to be extracted, an additional 3 to 4 weeks will be needed for healing.
