What to Expect at Every Step

Consultation and Treatment Planning

Step 1

Your journey begins with a comprehensive examination by Dr. Han. We'll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if a dental bridge is the best solution for you. We'll take X-rays and impressions of your teeth to plan your custom bridge and ensure a perfect fit.

Preparation and Temporary Bridge

Step 2

During this visit, we'll prepare the adjacent teeth (abutment teeth) to support the bridge. We'll then take detailed impressions for crafting your permanent bridge. A temporary bridge will be placed to protect your prepared teeth and maintain your smile while your custom bridge is being made.

Fitting and Cementing Your Permanent Bridge

Step 3

Once your permanent bridge is ready, you'll return to our Alexandria dental office for the final fitting. Dr. Han will carefully check the fit, color, and bite to ensure everything is perfect. After any necessary adjustments, the bridge will be permanently cemented in place, restoring your complete and beautiful smile.

“AMAZING 6/5 STARS... New to the area and was having wisdom tooth pain. Dr. Han was extremely caring and didn't rush me to get an extraction. He made sure I felt good so I could keep him updated. Obviously will go back for my extraction soon and I'm glad I found them. Update: Had two of my wisdom teeth extracted. Getting an appointment was fast and they have convenient hours. I was extremely nervous but Dr. Han is AMAZING. The procedure was so fast and you could tell he is very good at what he does. My recovery was less than 24 hours, with minimal pain. Went back for the suture removal and it is almost completely healed only a week later. ”

I am never one to leave reviews, but this one is beyond deserving. Dr. Han and his assistant went above and beyond my expectations. I suffer from severe anxiety when it comes to doctors because of past experiences. However, Dr. Han's jokes and literally telling me everything he was doing before he did it made this a wonderful visit. I left feeling great and not anxious. #officiallyhavemypermanentdoc

“I am SUPER nervous about going to the dentist, but this place is FABULOUS. The staff was friendly, gentle, and understanding, and Dr. Han was incredible. I had my first crown put in. He was knowledgeable about everything from which numbing agents were best to use (I've had reactions to all of them except the one he used), which crown material to use with zero mercury in them, and understood even the homeopathic pain remedies I prefer to use. Everyone there has a great bedside manner and Dr. Han really helped put me at ease with his humor and positive attitude. Fantastic office all around!”

“5/5 stars! Dr. Han is the best dentist we have ever seen - of the 35+ dentists who have treated us in the past 30 years )we were both in the military)! We are following Dr. Han from his previous dental office over to his new practice - one that will be entirely his own. So excited for the care we expect to receive there... Dr. Han is just that good! Friendly, calming, listens and is highly competent. We even recommended him to my parents, who plan to sign up once Dr. Han's practice opens!”

Dr. Han and his staff were amazing. He performed a thorough examination. He was up front and I appreciate him for that. Dr. Han has a great bedside manner and really cares for his patients. THANK YOU, Dr. Han!

Dr. Han is extremely kind and highly skilled as is his assistant. I was nervous due to prior bad experiences with other practices, but upon meeting him, I immediately was put at ease. He fixed my issue, and in doing so, gave me relief from years of discomfort and inflammation.

Dr. Han was phenomenal. My previous dental experiences had been awful and left me with severe PTSD. With Dr. Han I've never felt more reassured or in capable hands. I was talked through every little thing and assured over and over through any process I went through. Permanent dentist office for life.

Mary P.

I'm very pleased with the results of my front tooth dental crown. Thank you, Dr. Han, you did an amazing job it looks so natural and I feel pretty! Your kindness and honesty makes a positive difference.

Mary F.

Always love working with Dr. Han - he is a top-notch dentist, master of his craft, and is always very knowledgeable, never patronizing. I appreciate the fact that he doesn't try to upsell me on unnecessary treatments or procedures, and I can always opt out of things like fluoride if needed. But rest assured, he embraces a mindset of proactive preventive care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn More About Dental Bridges

How long do dental bridges typically last?

With proper care and maintenance, dental bridges can last 10-15 years or even longer. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for maximizing the lifespan of your bridge.

Are dental bridges noticeable?

Modern dental bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth. We use high-quality materials that mimic the color, translucency, and sheen of natural teeth, making your bridge virtually indistinguishable from the rest of your smile.

Can I eat normally with a dental bridge?

Yes, once you've adjusted to your new bridge, you should be able to eat most foods comfortably. However, it's advisable to avoid extremely hard or sticky foods that could potentially damage or dislodge the bridge. We recommend cutting tougher foods into smaller pieces and chewing on both sides of your mouth to distribute pressure evenly.

How do I care for my dental bridge?

Caring for your dental bridge is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, and floss daily, paying extra attention to cleaning under and around the bridge. We may recommend special flossing tools or interdental brushes to help you clean effectively around your bridge. Regular dental check-ups are crucial for monitoring the health of your bridge and surrounding teeth.
