With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental bridges typically last 5-15 years or even longer. Many of our patients at Karen Dental Clinic enjoy their bridges for well over a decade by maintaining excellent oral hygiene and attending regular professional cleanings.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during bridge preparation. We use effective local anesthesia to ensure you feel comfortable throughout the procedure. Any mild soreness after treatment typically resolves within a few days and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our gentle approach and attention to your comfort make the process surprisingly easy.

Absolutely! Our bridges are custom-crafted to match the shape, size, and color of your natural teeth perfectly. We work with premium dental laboratories that use advanced materials and techniques to create bridges that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Many patients tell us even they forget which teeth are part of their bridge.

Yes, once your permanent bridge is placed and you've adjusted to it (typically within a week), you'll be able to eat most foods normally. We recommend avoiding extremely sticky or hard foods that might damage your bridge. With proper care, your bridge will restore nearly all of your natural chewing ability, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods with confidence.
