Q. I am due to have my bottom front tooth extracted due to a snapped root, do you have to wait six months before a bridge can be fitted as i am having mine fitted on the same day and i am feeling very unsure that i should be fitted with a denture first

A. during the first six months after an extraction the bone will reshape. A denture is easier to adapt to this change. a bridge fitted after six months is likely to easier to adapt to the stable shape. bridges fitted at extraction sometimes need replacing after six months. Rob
