The 2nd appointment consists of deciding how "long" to make the teeth, determining the plane of the tooth setup, and the bite of upper and lower teeth so that when you bite together, the upper and lower teeth line up correctly. This is called "wax-bite".

The 3rd appointment is called the "wax try-in". When the lab returns the loosely fitting tray from the 2nd appointment with the actual final plastic teeth lined up along the outer edge of the wax rim. The wax try-in looks just like a real denture, except that the base fits loosely on the gums, and the teeth are embedded in wax instead of plastic.

The 4th appointment is for the issue denture. So that when the patient walks out of the clinic with new dentures.

Cost of Maryland Brige

Maryland Bridge

A Maryland Bridge is a type of bridge and is the simplest and least invasive. It relies on adhesion (stickyness) a metal wing is attached to the new tooth and this metal is stuck to the back of your adjacent tooth.
