Q.
Hiya, wonder if you could advise me on the best course of treatment. I have a failing bridge involving UR3,2 and 1. UR3 needs an extraction. I have been advised to replace this with an implant onto which a cantilever bridge can fit to replace my missing UR2, with a single crown for ur1. I another clinic have recommended I have two implants in UR3 and 2, instead of the cantilever option, they dont like cantilever bridges and think the mechanics of them is too much pressure on one implant and are not gauranteed to last, I also have a heavy bite with some wearing on my bottom teeth and this makes me feel two implants may be better? but I realise the two options will look different cosmetically both clinics argue that their way will look better aesthetically, also I have a bridge involving the same teeth the other side of my mouth. I can see pros and cons to both treatment plans, please help!!!,

Q.
I have a failing bridge which involves my ur1,2 and 3. UR3 needs to be extracted. I have been for 3 consultations for an implant to replace UR3 2 dentists have recommended an implant in 3 with a cantilever bridge on it to replace missing ur2. UR1 needs a root canal and a new single crown. However, one other dentist has said a cantilever bridge wouldnt be a good option as it could be too much pressure on the single implant over time, he insists 2 implants is better and would be gauranteed to last a lot longer. Im now wondering why the other dentists havent suggested two implants or is the third dentist just trying to make more money.,

Q.
I have had a fixed bridge for about 8 years. However, during a recent check-up my dentist told me that the tooth at or near the end of the bridge has decayed and needs to come out. He has suggested either an implant or a cantilever bridge to replace decayed tooth. The ‘tooth’ is in upper jaw towars back. Is a cantilever bridge strong enough and is it aestethic. Implants sound invasive, painful as well as expensive!,

Q.
I have bridge that was replaced by my general dentist last year. Since then, I had a lot of problems because when the molar (#31) was grind down, it exposed the nerve. I had root canal done. However, after the rct, I was still having pain. The endodontist told me she was not able to get through one of the canals because it was blocked & curved. I went to another endodontist who recommended a retreatment. The tooth feels a little better, with some sensitivity. The bridge is always getting loose because there is not much tooth to hold the bridge. My dentist is recommending a crown lengthening. I am afraid I am spending too much money on this tooth, but would it really be worth it.

Q.
I have post crowns on my two front teeth one i had replaced less than a year ago because it kept coming out it has come out three times since being replaced, and to be honest, although i was told a longer post would solve the problem the post does not look any longer. The root has lost a small piece and i am worried i will end up with no root to put it in to.

Q.
I recently had a bridge done for a missing tooth. One of the crowned teeth on the end has not felt right since day one. I cannot bite or chew near the bridge, even soft foods. I am afraid to go back to the dentist because I think he was very unprofessional and could he have taken the tooth down too far?
