  Patients will adjust after the bridge has been placed. They may experience soreness, discomfort, or excessive production of saliva and may also need to modify their eating habits.

  Changes in the mouth and jaw occur with age and regular dental examinations are important to maintain a proper fit over time. Adjustments are to be done by the dentist as bridges can be damaged beyond repair by patients who attempt to fix them.

  Bridges also have disadvantages. They can break, chip or crack. Adjacent teeth, serving as abutments, are prepared by cutting away tooth enamel, which may weaken a healthy tooth. Sores and irritations may accompany poorly-fit bridges.
