During the dental bridge procedure, teeth are prepared by reduction, and some discomfort or pain may be experienced throughout this process. Once the prosthetic bridge is permanently placed, it should not cause ongoing irritation or discomfort to your cheeks or tongue. Should you experience any such issues, it is important to communicate them to your dentist. Post-procedure, it is common to experience mild pain or soreness for a few days, the duration of which can depend on the specific treatment method used. However, if this discomfort persists for an extended period or intensifies, we strongly recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment with your dental professional for evaluation.
