Can I get my bridge repaired or should I get a new one?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011
Q.

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,

Should I get implants, a bridge, or a combination?

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011
Q.

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

My son broke his teeth in an accident, how can this best be rectified?

Tuesday, March 15th, 2011
Q.

My son (20yrs old) fell and hit his 2 front teeth and 1 tooth on the side of front teeth. The side tooth has truned black (they want to do rtc and crown. 1 front tooth got pushed back (blowed the socket) and has a crack up in the gum and broke about half of it off, but it is still white (they want to pull and put in a bridge). The other one is half broke off (they want to fill). This was done two days ago. I would like to know if there is any other solutions that would be better. Please let me know.
