Yes, we can. We use ultrasonic instruments specifically designed to go under the bridge and clean all the retained plaque and calcified calculus.
To get under a dental bridge for adquate cleaning, use a Waterpik for powerful irrigation. You can also use a thin plastic floss threader to manipulate floss under your bridge tooth to clean tighter spaces that you might not be able to adequately irrigate.
