What treatment can I have to replace old looking bridge?

Monday, February 22nd, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr Glaister, I have had the same bridge on my bottom front teeth for about 15 years (It’s a Maryland bridge). When I had it done it was the best thing ever and improved my confidence but now it’s really looking dated and too obvious. What I was wondering is, do you have to change a bridge after a few years? Also I would like to have this bridge removed and placed with some thing more up to date because I know cosmetic dentistry has come a long way in the last 15 years! Would dental implants be best? What would you suggest? This has bothered me for many years but I have done nothing about it but this summer I have my sisters wedding coming up and would really like to do something finally.,

Is maryland bridge good replacement for missing teeth?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010
Q.
My son is missing two teeth. He is too young to have implants (17 y.o. and still growing). I understand that a Maryland Bridge would be a good option and that one using Zirconium is best as it is white rather than the dark metal used in conventional Marylands. What is your opinion and do you offer this type of bridge? thank you!!,

Should i opt for a bridge or implants?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
Q.
I have a temporary bridge from 7-10 and had bone graft 7 months ago in 8 & 9 done by an Oral Surgeon in preparation for implant placement. I have lost teeth 8 & 9 a long time ago and had a lot of gum recession. My prosthodontist has referred me to a periodontist because my gums on tooth # 7 has been really red the past few months. The periodontist said I need crown lengthening. She doesn’t recommend placing two implants in teeth 8 & 9 due to esthetic reasons. I am confused because my Oral Surgeon wanted to place implants. Should I just have the bridge done at this point? Thanks.,
