Does anyone know how long I will be in the dentist chair to have a Maryland bridge fitted?
 
30 minutes or so, depending on small talk, how organised the dentist is etc.

For the patient it's probably the easiest procedure to get done.
1) Isolate and dry the tooth (60 secs)
2) Apply etching gel for 45-60 secs
3) Wash and dry (30-60 secs)
4) Apply bonding agent (10 secs)
5) Insert bridge and wipe off any excess cement (30 secs or so)
6) Set bridge cement with blue curing light (2 mins or so)
7) Check and adjust the bite as required
 
Thanks so much.
