Dental Bridges

Dental bridge procedures at our Wilshire Blvd location are straightforward and are typically completed in two in-office sessions. Generally, here’s what you can expect if you plan on getting a dental bridge with Dr. Adelpour’s team:

• Elective, preliminary procedures: If you want more dramatic results, we suggest undergoing a standard dental cleaning and teeth whitening before starting the overall dental bridge process. While these procedures are not always necessary, they can help your final smile feel good and look great.
• Preparation: When you start the dental bridge process, Dr. Adelpour will numb the area with STA (single tooth anesthesia) and shave a little bit of enamel from the teeth on either side of the tooth bridge. This preparation process makes room for the new restoration and maintains alignment.
• Digital Scans: Next, he will take digital scans of the teeth and send those to a lab, where lab techs will create your custom dental bridge.
• Temporary Bridge Placement: While waiting for your final restoration, you will have a temporary dental bridge.
• Final Dental Bridge Placement: When your elegant dental restorative returns from the lab, Dr. Adelpour will permanently cement it to the teeth via dental crowns.
