I have a bridge with the front tooth missing therefore other front tooth and tooth at side of missing one being the bridge. my bridge has become loose and I have recently discovered that I have an infection in the other front tooth,i have been told i need a bigger bridge of 6 teeth which would include the 2 molars, my question is, is it necessary to grind down that amount of good teeth? The dentist said it would be because of the weight of the teeth. i have also been quoted 3,200 is this a reasonable price or should I look for another opinion?

Do I Need A Bigger Bridge?
Tuesday, April 2nd, 2013Should I choose a traditional or maryland bridge to replace four lower teeth?
Monday, March 18th, 2013Hello, I am currently choosing between a traditional or maryland bridge, and wondered if you could offer an expert opinion on the decision. The cost is about the same, and it is needed to bridge the gap between my lower incisors, so is needed to replace four removed teeth. I have been advised that the main risks are nerve problems for the crowns that have to be done for the conventional bridge, and the risk of dislodging for the maryland bridge, but that they maryland may be the better solution when fewer missing teeth are involved. Would you be able to offer any advice please?
Am I Being Overcharged For A Bridge?
Wednesday, February 20th, 2013Hello doctor Bohara, In my lower right incisor I am still retaining my milk tooth which I am looking to replace. I am told by my dentist Dr. Malik that it will be done with a Maryland dental bridge. I have been quoted £1400-£1800 for the Bridge depending on if it’s metal or resin bonded. I thought this cost was a little too steep, I get this feeling sheet having looked at maryland bridge pricing in London on the Internet. Could you please advice me on this issue?
Thank you
What alternatives are there to dental implants?
Friday, February 15th, 2013Hello, I have just been to my local dentist and I need my front tooth removing as soon as possible, my other front tooth is already a bridge and thisis attached to the one I need taking out but she said that I can not have a dental bridge fitted, I could just have dentures but I’m twenty-nine years old and don’t want to be walking about with dentures in my mouth, my teeth either side of front ones are in good health though so why can’t I get a bridge fitted if this is the case, I can’t afford dental implants anyway so I want something else which will be more permanent, what would you recommend in this particular case?
Can You Fix My Tooth Without Removing The Entire Bridge?
Friday, February 1st, 2013I have a bridge on top of 9 teeth,the bridge is one piece ,i broke one tooth ,is there any possibility to rebuild the tooth without removing entire bridge.I had the work done two years ago in my hometown in Poland whilst in Holland yesterday i had a tooth become detached, I was able to get it glued back in yesterday evening prior to leaving for London. My dentist in Poland asked that I return home and advised that the whole bridge would have to be replaced.I am alarmed by this and wpould request your opinion on the validity of this statement.I am working in the UK and would not wish to return to Poland for what ia advised would be for a period of at least 10days. I would appreciate a prompt reply. Thanks,
How Can I fix My Teeth Without Effecting My Speech And Appearance On The Way
Friday, January 25th, 2013I currently have a bridge over a front missing tooth, anchored on both sides. The remaining front tooth that is an anchor has a root fill, this was done some 20 years ago. I have some gingivitus around the gum line of this tooth and now have discomfort on the very top edge of the bridged tooth up against the gum line. The bridge is very firm, but I feel discomfort when pressure is put on the tooth. I have been given Amoxicillin which has not eased the problem. I have had an Xray and the root canal is still good with no absess or problems showing on the xray but there is a metal plate on the back of the bridge that covers anything that may be going on with the tooth itself. I am paranoid about them doing anything with the bridge in case I end up loosing the front anchoring tooth. The dentist has suggested a course of flagyl next stept. I do lots of lectures and am very self concious about my speech and my appearance – what should I do not please?
Am I suitable for a dental implant?
Friday, June 1st, 2012 Hi there, I have just returned from the dentist where i was meant to undergo a replacement crown, as my original one was 15 years old and was starting to have gum recede.
After a long time in the chair of removal and drilling and xrays, my dentist told me that there was something on my sinus something or other, (sorry)
At this point he started apologising that he had misinformed me, and that i would now no longer to be able to have a crown because it probably wouldnt hold.
I started crying and was told i could have a denture, bridge or inplant. What i was wondering, what would you advise me to do. Im only 40 and it is tooth b1 so i dont want a denture for obvious reasons, or a bridge because it would entail damaging already healthy teeth.
Would i be allowed to have an immediate post extraction inplant placement. I feel very upset and quite traumatised at the moment. Your opinion would be most appreciated. By the way, he put a temporary crown in place for now. Thanks.
Can Invisalign be used unnoticeably with a dental bridge?
Monday, March 26th, 2012 Hi,
I have recently been reffered to an orthadontist to have invisalign braces, i am really excited about starting my treatment but have been told i need a tooth removed as it is a milk tooth, i have had previous treatments but the tooth is unable to be saved, i also had a bridge fitted on the opossite side for the same problem which also needs to be removed as it is ill fitting, my question is as i will have noticeable gaps at the front of my mouth, when the tooth and bridge are removed can the invisalign help to hide this hile my teeth are being moved? i work in a environment where i am constantly talking to people/customer and am worried that i will feel very concious with gaps.
Please help!!
Thankyou
