Thank you

Should I replace my Maryland bridge with implants?

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2011
Q.

I am 34 years old and had maryland bridges fitted when I was 15 to replace the two teeth either side of my front teeth (thatnever appeared after my baby teeth fell out).

They are still there and have been very strong and good, but the metal is starting to show through and I have noticeable gaps around them now as my mouth has changed shape as I have got older and am increasingly self conscious of them.

Please can you advise my best options, should I replace them with maryland brisges again (or do they still have the metal bonds that would show through) or implants?

Also, my front teeth are crossed and I am keen to get them straightened. Please can you let me know if I can have a brace with bridges or if veneers would be more appropriate.

A.
I would, after a proper examin… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
