I’ve lost my bridge and I don’t have a lot of money, what can I do to have it replaced?

Friday, June 4th, 2010
Q.
Hi I’m a 28yr old male suffering from gum disease. I have had treatment done from the NHS as I had rotten teeth, which eventually got sorted with a brace. However, I had a bridge fitted to replace my bottom 4 teeth, which again was under the NHS to to my financial circumstances. Recently, my bridge came loose and fell out and got lost. I’m now worried I will have to pay huge sums of money to have it replaced. I’m tight on finances as it is. Can you advise what’s best to do?,

Should I have a dental implant or a cantilever bridge?

Thursday, May 27th, 2010
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!,
A.
Implants shouldn’t be painful … (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Should I have my dental crown replaced?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010
Q.
Hi, I hope you can give me some advice. I had a crown fitted (with a root canal) about 2 1/2 years ago. When I first had it done I had to go back several times to have it put back in as it just wasnt secure, she them put a post in it but it has come loose again!. I have just been back to another dentist who put it in again for me but said it probably wouldnt stay because my gums are inflamed around that area and its not going in properly. I am just getting sick of going back and back again. Should I have another crown done? What do you think would be the solution? Hope you can help. Regards.

I’d like my teeth to look whiter, what do you advise?

Thursday, May 20th, 2010
Q.
Hello, Since being a young age i have suffered with my teeth, for some reason they use to decay and discolour quickly. At the age of 8 i fell and broke my two front teeth of which i now have a cap and bridge. I could never understand what cause my teeth to be like this as i always had a good diet. A few years ago my teeth starting improving and i went to a new dentist, she told me i had some sort of disorder which caused my teeth to decay and discolour, do you know what this is called?. As you can imagine it was a relief to find out that it hadn’t been my fault, i am conscious of my teeth now and would love to have them whitened, i looked in to this but have recently been told that my cap and bridge can not be whiten. They are naturally a little whiter than my naturally teeth but i was just wondering if you thought it was possible for them to lift a little lighter. If not what would you advise.
