I have four missing teeth at the front, what are my replacement options?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Hello doctor,

I had a cycling accident several years ago and unfortunately lost 4 of my front teeth at the top. I have currently got a denture in place but wanted to be able to have something more natural looking, I have asked for a bridge as I was advised by the dentist this would be possible, I have recently moved dentists and my current Dentist states that this is not possible because I have for teeth missing, what is your opinion on this matter as a work colleague has a bridge and has his 4 teeth missing at the front also. kind regards and thank you very much for your time

I don’t want dentures on my top and bottom teeth, what are my options?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011
Q.

Have dentures on top. Lower teeth are killing me, gum trouble. Broken down teeth in back. A few missing. What are my options? Do not want dentures on bottom. Can barely stand the ones on top. On the bottom I have in the front, like 4 or 5 teeth. Then on both sides, some missing, then molars on both sides are broken down and in bad shape. Lots of pain. Isn’t there a way to adhere the denture so it will stay in? Or could it be possible for me to get a partial on the left and on the right, and then do something with the few teeth I have left in front?

I swallowed my bridge and have washed it with bleach and vinegar, can I wear it again?

Monday, May 23rd, 2011
Q.

A few days ago I woke in the middle of the night choking on my dental bridge which had came off. I could not retrieve it, so waited for it to pass through. I was very nervous about this as I had read on internet that it could become lodged at different points in the digestive system. Finally after 5 days it passed through. I washed it, soaked it in soapy water over night, then brushed it with a light solution of bleach, then with vinegar, then soaked it in a solution of bleach for about 30 minutes, then rebrushed it with vinegar. My question is: does this santize it enough to be free from ecoli? Is it now safe to reuse? I cannot afford another bridge and it is not pleasant walking around with no front teeth on right side, also the pain from the bare roots apparently is heart wrenching. Please advise.

How long will it take for my husband to have implants and crowns instead of dentures?

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011
Q.

My husband has just had his 4 front teeth taken out & now wears dentures. His bone & gums are in terrible condition, but we have been told that he might be able to have injections to rebuild bone & gums, then have implants with a bridge! How long does this procedure take & is there an estimated cost. He has only had dentures for a few days, but I don’t think its suiting him. How long will he have to wait for the process to start. He doesn’t have any infection in his gum, so will he have to wait long? My husband is only 42 so dentures for the rest of his life is not an option! Help!

Can you give me your opinion on the Carlson Bridge “Winged Pontic” procedure?

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011
Q.

Hello Dr Moore. Can you please advise on my situation. Do you know about or do the Carlson Bridge “Winged Pontic” procedure? I have a broken front tooth and it will be extracted. They want to do an inplant or cut my vital teeth to pegs, which I don’t care to have either done. In Hawaii I’ve heard of the Carlson Bridge “Winged Pontic” porcedure. In your opinion could you tell me if you think this would be a good alternative? I have gone to their web site at www.carlsonbiologicaldentistry.com to have a proper look. I have also youtubed carlson bridge and googled that too for more information.
Good information but I would like to know what you think?

Thank you for your time.
