We make sure you are seated in a comfortable position as the Bridge procedure can take from 60 minutes to 90 minutes.

We reshape the two adjacent teeth to the ideal proportions to ensure we can create a strong and natural-looking bridge framework.

We use our intra-oral scanner to take multiple photos of your mouth so we can digitally recreate your teeth to their natural beauty and function
