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.
