I'd strongly advise you to go to him the 1st day you're out there as he will want you to try the bridge before putting it in permanently. The first time we were out for a month but didn't go see him till the start of the 3rd week. He did fit the 4 tooth bridge + renew a crown (unfortunately his technician made a 1 tooth instead of 11/2 tooth crown so that has to be replaced later - there won't be any additional charge. He gave me the clickable in denture style removeable bridge BUT I couldn't get on with it. Had I gone to him immediately we could have sorted this then.
Last time we were out for 2 weeks. He got the new porcelain only clickable bridge for me BUT he wanted me to use it for a while before he put in for good. He wouldn't do the 11/2 tooth crown as he wanted me to be able to eat in case the removeable bridge I wasn't happy with. I now leave that in 24/7 but I think it needs a bit of adjustment although it's not uncomfortable at all I feel it needs to be a little bit more up on the top gum. I keep clicking it up & down when I'm thinking - doesn't happen too much then! LOL My grandma used to do that with her dentures - am I turning into her? LOL Hopefully when he puts it in permanently, he'll sort it & it'll be OK.
Even my closest friends/relatives didn't realise the teeth weren't mine. It's great to be able to smile again - most people didn't realise I'd lost a few teeth recently as I'd stopped the wide grin as I was really self conscious of the missing teeth - I can do that again now! YIPPEE!
I hate injections so he even numbs the tooth before he does them - you can choose which flavour numbing gel. I also can't stand anything in my mouth - dentures I just could not have tolerated UGH! When I nearly threw up as he was making the mould he grabbed it out & now gives me a quick mould that usually is only used for kiddies - a bit more civilised than in UK.
He even puts on videos for you to watch. Frank the dentist is one he likes but the best is the wedding one where the bride loses her teeth LOL - that is bl...y hysterical. NOT your 'normal' dentist. Ask to see it!
