So many variables. Generally, it takes about 25-39 minutes per tooth. A three-unit bridge will take less time than a 4or five unit bridge! Many times when doing a bridge, other procedures are necessary in order to insure the foundation of the bridge is sound. Depending on the scope and number of the these procedures, the time needed to complete the temporary bridge will be prolonged. My suggestion would be to ask the DDS what they expect the allotted time to be and adjust accordingly.
