I Have Teeth That Are Decayed And Many With Deep Amalgam Fillings. Would Dental Implants Work Better Than Bridges?
Q.
Hello Dr Gambroudes, I need some advice regarding what to do with my teeth please. I have two crowns at the top front that need replacing and these are next to the top right tooth which has broke off & the one on the other side is decayed. I have teeth that are decayed and I have many amalgam fillings some quite deep. I will need dentures or implants on the bottom back of my mouth to help me to chew now I’ve lost the ones there. On the top I am either going to need implants and bridges or just bridges. I’m not sure what will be the best to done. What do you believe to be the best?

Hello and thank you for getting in touch. I would need to see you ideally but generally implants provide better long term support to the bite. Bridges can be a little intrusive to the adjacent teeth. It would depend on you being a suitable candidate for dental implants however. This should be determined by an experienced cosmetic dentist through a consultation. If you would like further help and information on these treatments, it is available through this website. I hope this helps. Regards, Marcus.
