Dental Bridge question?!


Question: Dental Bridge question?
Hi all,

Thinking of having a bridge done as im missing a tooth in the upper arch between the canine and molar.I have a nausea problem so dental work is tricky.I understand the good teeth either side need to be ground down to create a foundation for the bridge but i am just wondering,how long does it take to grind the teeth down?Is it a matter of minutes or does it take a good bit of time?

Many thanks.

Answers:

It depends.

if the teeth on either side of the gap are sound and don't have any fillings, they might just do a minimal prep which will take 1 min of drilling.
if the teeth on either side have fillings, they may do a conventional preparation which will take 5-10mins of drilling.
