My last lower molar is cracked through and I have a missing molar next to it. I have been advised to have a bridge to attach to the cracked molar with a pontic to bridge the gap and the bridge to attach to the next tooth in which has been filled twice. Is it likely that the bridge will be viable and give longevity given the fact that the anchor molar is cracked?
Good afternoon,
I am a 28 year old male with a loose tooth in my lower jaw. If I count from the front backwards it is the 4th tooth in. I have healthy gums and visit my dentist (NHS patient) every six months for routine checks. I have only 2 fillings having recieved my 2nd aprox 1 year ago.
I have had orthodontic treatment as a child and have also had teeth removed as part of treatment due to over crowding. The tooth that is loose has been for aprox over 10 years. If it is knocked by hard food it will usually tighten after a week or so, however recently it was disturbed by eating something hard and I think it is on its last legs. This tooth is sits between a canine tooth and a back molar. So, in total in my lower jaw I have 4 big back molars, 4 smaller back molars, 2 canines, 4 incisors at the front and this one odd loose tooth between a small molar and canine. This particular tooth I believe should have been removed during my orthodontic treatment but for whatever reason was not. Now it is ready to come out and I will be left with a noticeable gap.
In your experience what would you recommend be put in place or what treatment is available?
Regards.
my dentist fixed a bridge of left upper 4 and left lower 5 unit bridge. after fixing i face two problems (1) difficulty in chewing the food (2) there is no tast. more ever while fixing the crown the dentist file the crown for properly installation, but edges of crown are filed and they become dull (sharpless). give the suggestion on my id
how much would it cost to have abridge fitted on one of my front top teeth bearing in mind that the tooth either side is already a crown also would it be possible
Dear Dr. Caplan,
Approx. 6years ago I had a new bridge fitted. Maybe one year ago a sliver from the bottom of one of the front teeth broke off, my Dentist, at that time, managed to refix the this broken part. A new Dentist took over the practice, the same part came off again and has been replaced on countless occasions during the past six months. This piece doesn’t seem to be ‘stuck’ with the correct adhesive. Now it is not a sliver it is a wedge that is being replaced. I cannot afford an entire new bridge, even though I have a DenPlan contract. To be honest if I were to be able to afford a new bridge I would never want this particular Dentist to fit it.
I would appreciate your advice on this matter.
Many thanks,
3 months ago lost top front crown, had root removed, have a temp plate , which i hate , but the dentist cannot do a bridge yet until my teeth built up due to my bite, had the top done today , like concrete blobs behind my top teeth , i go back in 2 wks for the bottom , i then have to wait a further 2 months for a bridge . nightmare ! what i would love is my teeth whitened, as they are orange ! i also have 2 veneers at the top,which would have to come off .what can i do ! thank you.
how much will it cost to have 2 bridges fitted to top front teeth.
My Bridge has broken and has over the last few years come out more regularly, my dentist who is a NHS has told me that I need to get a plate fitted and wants to remove my teeth which have been subject to root canal surgery so are just stumps in my gums now, I can afford to go private but my question is a plate (3 teeth) best or is it best to have implants or something else done, my Bridge is a 2 prong either side (one has broken off) with a extra tooth in the middle, so a 3 gap bridge, also if I have the bridge will I be able to eat properly thanks
I need a Marilyn Bridge, me brother in law will make the bridge, but I need a Dentist to cement the tooth in. Please Advise. Thank you
i have swallowed my tooth with small bridge today morning, i felt like it stucked in the throught and after i drank lots of water it went off.will it pass through my stool.
