Hi Andrew, I wanted to ask you if I am able to fix an upper bridge that is broken. The dentist that made it for me 10 years ago has closed now and he has gone back to Africa where he was from. My bridge is 6 teeth in total and I have had screws on both sides. Now the bridge is broken in the middle on upper two front teeth (the one that was missing) and I have been using it with Fixodent now for the past two months. I still have the roots of 4 teeth, two in both sides where my previous dentist took the nerves out and screwed through to put the new bridge in. Words can not explain it how difficult is to live day to day. I do not have much money to fix it and the dentist that I am registered with at the moment is useless and he does not want to fix it. Can you please help? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Can I Get a Broken Bridge Fixed?
Tuesday, September 6th, 2016I Have A Loose Back Tooth Which When I Chew Hurts Sometimes. Should I Replace It With Mini Implants?
Tuesday, November 26th, 2013I have recently had dentures fitted after a cardiac arrest last year. The bridge was broken and my dentist advised me to have dentures put in. As it was my 5 top teeth, I agreed, and this is okay but I doesn’t quite sit properly. Also using adhesive, I find I choke with it and it I find it very uncomfortable. I did some research and I noticed the mini implant and I need some advice and technical expertise, How much do you think a mini implant would cost for my top dentures? And I also have a loose back tooth, not painful but it can be when I chew sometimes. Can I have it removed if the tooth is okay, and can I have a Nimitz transplant? Thank you, I hope you can help me.
Would it be possible to have dentures on mini implants?
Tuesday, May 29th, 2012I may need a denture, I have a broken bridge. I would like, if affordable, to have dentures on mini implants. Is this feasable? Why do some dentists not recommend it. I do not like the idea of having to take teeth out overnight. I just wonder why most dentists don’t do mini implants and it will take up to 8 months to complete the procedure for a denture on normal implants. My bridge is on 1 Implant and a tooth a tooth half way between was removed and the bridge replaced temporarily in 2006. My dentist then retired and I have been left with this broken bridge since then. I have missting teeth either side and have been recommended dentures on implants but I have been told they would need to be removed at night. The dentist said that mini implants are not recommended.
