What is bridge work and does it involve any injections …. thankyou

A. A bridge is a way of filling the gap left after a tooth is removed. it normally requires injections as the  teeth either side of the gap need to be drilled down to receive the bridge.

I have a post crown which came loose, my dentist reseated it. He said that it maybe that the socket into which the post is inserted may have cracked, in which case he will have to replace the postcrown with a bridge. Is this the only possible alternative and what does it involve. I would appreciate your advice

A. It is often the only thing you can do when the root has cracked. You could also consider a dental implant as this wouldn’t mean drilling down the adjacent teeth which is often required for a bridge.

I would like to know if it is possible to have a tooth implant fitted under the following circumstances: My permanent lateral incisors were removed when I was a child (roughly 6yrs old) before they could grow after an accident which fractured my jaw. I have had dentures, bridges and now have one crown fitted on one side and nothing on the other. I am now 37 yrs old.

A. hi many thanks for your email, the site that requires the implant needs to be assessed to check there is enough room both height, and width wise for the dental implant and that there is enough bone. hope this is helpful.

A. Hi
Plesae do not worry as you do have options to replace the gap when your tooth has been removed. The best options would be an implant, however this would be the most expensive option. There is also the option of a bridge, which would involve preparing the teeth on either side for crowns, and then the laboratory would create attach a false tooth to the two crowns to create a three unit bridge. Your final optin would be a partial denture, which would be removable. I hie this helps.
Many thanks

A. Very sorry to hear that you are not happy with the result of your bridge.  The only thing to be done now is to have it redone.  If you came to see me I would firstly assess exactly what you are not happy with using photographs and possibly imaging.  Impressions of your existing bridge would be taken and a diagnostic mock up of your teeth would be made in wax on the model.  When your bridge is removed this mockup would be used to produce a beautiful temporary bridge and any adjustments would be made at this stage until you are happy.  This would then be copied to make the final bridge.  In this way the aesthetics are very carefully controlled.  This could be completed before Xmas but you will need to contact my surgery as soon as possible as my clinical time is limited due to lecture commitments.  I hope to see you soon.

I am about to have lower front pincer tooth extracted, can you please advice on what to get, a partial denture or a bridge and what type. My dentist has not explained the options, please can you help me decide I am at my wits end with worry. As soon as possible.

A. A denture is the quickest and simplest method to fill the gap.  I would recommend this for immediately after having the tooth removed, after this you could have a bridge or an implant if you want a permanently fixed in tooth.

I have a missing tooth needing a bridge. I have been advised that a CEREC replacement would be better than a normal bridge because the CEREC materials are chemically bonded to your neighbouring healthy teeth. This would enable my dentist to save as much healthy tooth tissue as possible. Is a CEREC bridge preferable as it allows the dentist to save more of your neighbouring healthy teeth?

A. I would not advise a Cerec bridge as the materials available at the moment are only plastic for bridges

A. Thanks for your question, it is possible that the dentist would be able to repair the chip without removing the bridge.
