Thank you for your question, and we understand your concernit's completely normal to feel a bit anxious before a dental procedure. Getting a dental bridge is typically not painful, especially with today's modern dental techniques. During the procedure, we use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort while preparing the adjacent teeth and fitting the bridge. You may feel some mild pressure, but you shouldn't experience pain during the treatment. After the procedure, it's common to have some sensitivity or slight discomfort in the gums or the prepared teeth for a few days. This can usually be managed with overthecounter pain relievers and will subside as your mouth adjusts to the new bridge. If you have any concerns or if youre especially sensitive, dont hesitate to discuss your comfort options with your dentist beforehand. Were here to make sure your experience is as smooth and painfree as possible. Wishing you a successful and easy dental bridge procedure!.
Typically, no, getting a dental bridge is not painful. There are some factors involved that may increase your post-operative sensitivity, mainly whether or not any gum tissue around the bridge needs to be manipulated, or if the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth need excessive preparation. Generally, it’s a pretty easy, predictable, and successful procedure.

There are several types of dental bridges, none of them are painful. Some need two appointments and require about 80 minutes to prepare and place a temporary bridge. You should talk to your dentist and have him explain everything.
