Height adjustment post bridges
Hi,
I recently got bridges on my left side. Yesterday i also got tooth preparation for bridges on my right side ( bridges are yet to be placed). Since yesterday i am noticing very pronounced height at one of the caps on my left side bridge. I can feel only one teeth touching both jaws on closing my mouth.
Does this mean height adjustment is needed? I mentioned to my doc, he said post placing bridges on right side it should set automatically. But wondering why would only one teeth touch if i close my mouth if no adjustment is needed.

Let doctor place Bridge first.
Normally, it gets better after bridge/prosthesis placement.

It's often like that only
Once all the bridges and restorations are completed, your dentist will check final height and adjust
Don't worry it's normal

Hi dear
Post placing the bridge on the right side.. Dr. Will check again if there are any high points, if you are able to bite equally from both the sides.
Next Steps
When the bridge will be fixed on the right side.. You can bite and check from both the side of the teeth.
Health Tips
Just not to eat anything hard from the side of tooth preparation.
