Is this normal in the process of getting a bridge dental procedure?

My husband is in the process of getting a bridge. First they extracted the partially busted tooth. Then they shaved of the two healthy teeth next to the missing tooth. He looks hideous. They said the next step is to insert the bridge next week and then he'll look great. Is this a normal procedure? Will his teeth look great when this is over? Wil the teeth on either side not look shaved off? Is this worth the $1800, the pain and frustration or should we have just one with the temporary that doesn't last very long and can pop out unexpectedly?

Generally a temporary bridge is placed between appointments. The supporting teeth should look normal when the bridge is placed. It does seem unusual that temporary crowns were not used between appointments, but I do not know the specific situation. You should not have gone with a temporary bridge for long term use.
Reply:my mom said they like pull the teeth thats getting the bridge grind them up and make new teeth that are better i am preety sure thats what she said unless i missed heard
Reply:This seems very unusual to me. I have never heard of a patient being prepared for a bridge and not having temporaries placed. A temporary bridge serves a number of purposes, two of which are to hold the prepared teeth in the exact position they were in when the bridge impression was made so the new bridge will fit over them accurately and second, to prevent sensitivity. I really can't imagine why a bridge would be made without temporaries but I don't know what the conditions are. I have heard of some discount dental clinics not doing temporaries or charging extra for them on single crowns tho.
