Is a one-day bridge as strong as a lab-made one?

Yes, the ceramic blocks used for in-office milling are incredibly dense and durable, designed to handle the same chewing pressure as traditional porcelain.

Does the procedure hurt?

Your dentist will use local anesthesia to numb the area thoroughly, so you won’t feel any pain during preparation or bonding.

How long will my bridge last?

With good brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups, a high-quality bridge typically lasts between 10 and 15 years before needing a refresh.

Can I eat right after the appointment?

Since the bridge is permanently bonded with a strong adhesive, you can usually eat once the numbness wears off, though you should avoid very sticky foods initially.
