I am having a all porcelain bridge 6 unit bridge made for the upper front teeth replacing 3 missing teeth. This is to replace a porcelain fused to metal bridge which started to feel weird after wisdom tooth removal. The temp bridge feels tight around the gums on the back of my teeth and bulky. My dentist says the permanent bridge will fit perfectly but I'm scared the permanent will feel the same way. Should I have the dentist try and adjust the temp bridge or wait to see how the permanent feels?

Answer: Temporary Bridge
Hi...you should not have to spend two weeks in a temporary bridge that is uncomfortable. The adjustment takes no time at all. Call your dentist and ask for an adjustment on your temporary bridge. I am assured he would like you to be happy while waiting for the permanent one! You will be happy with the end result. It will fit beautifully !

Answer: Temporary Feels Bulky
Temporaries often feel bulky due to the material itself and the process of them being made directly in the mouth. They can be adjusted quite easily though and it is often a quick adjustment. If the bulk of the temporary is bothering you then call the dentist back to have it smoothed and reduced slightly. This adjustment can be done with the temporary in place in your mouth.
The temp and the final restoration are two totally different entities so do not be worried about the final restorations fit as compared to the temporary. Good luck!
