Done in One Appointment
Unlike other offices, we’re able to complete the dental bridge procedure in one appointment in Mullins, SC. We use to plan and place your bridge without having to outsource the fabrication to an off-site lab. Instead, we handle everything in-house for your convenience and to ensure a high standard of patient care.
First, Dr. Blevins will need to file down the teeth on both sides of the empty socket. That way, the crowns will have enough space to fit over the teeth without looking unnatural. This step won’t be necessary if we’re fitting the crowns over dental implants.
Next, our dentist will take 3D digital impressions of your teeth using CEREC. These impressions are then immediately sent to his computer where he will begin to design your new dental bridge right in front of your eyes.
Once Dr. Blevins is satisfied with the design, he’ll send it to the milling machine in our office. The milling machine works by sculpting your dental bridge from a ceramic block that is an exact color-match to the rest of your teeth.
