Dental Bridge - Lost a Tooth!

I've lost one of my front bottom teeth! Absolutely gutted. I had a root canal years ago and it's juts eventually failed and the root wasn't strong enough and it came out. I've got an appointment for a dental bridge in about 3 weeks, then the fitting 2 weeks later. Does anyone know whether they will put something temporary in at the first appointment on the NHS? I'm panicking as got a couple of events in that 2 week in between period. I did ask the dental receptionist and she didn't know and I guess I could ring back next week and ask them to check with he dentist but thought today I could ask for experiences on here! Thank you!

Once the supporting teeth have been filed and moulds taken, you will be given a temporary.

Thank you! That's what I was hoping as want to be without the tooth for the shortest time possible and just to get something in there ASAP.
