Temp Bridges

Temporary CEREC Bridges

What we call ‘senior’ decay can be rough, seemingly good teeth can go downhill so fast! This patient had decay into the nerves on both laterals, #7 and #10, that went subcrestal so they were not predictably restorable. Decay was also present on #8 and #9 inter-proximally. So we did immediate implants, and used CEREC and Katana Zirconia to make temporary bridges to cover the implants while they heal. The final treatment plan is single unit crowns for easy hygiene.

Can you believe this appointment was only 3 hours and the patient left with beautiful, new teeth the same day! That is the beauty of digital dentistry!
