Can my previous bridges be reused?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
I lost 3 front teeth in an auto accident 16 years ago. At that time the dentist made crowns for adjoining 5 teeth in the form of a bridge. The bridge has now let go due to decay of (what used to be) healthy natural teeth and I am wanting implants. In this day and age of recycling, reusing and renewing, can my bridge not be retro-fitted for the implants??? Alot of $$$ went into them originally, I find it hard to believe that they cannot be reused.

No its a ciustom fitted device… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

My dentist says bridges may cause infection is this true?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
My regular dentist does not agree with brdges—he says they put more strain on the surrounding teeth and should infection occur then the whole bridge mudt be destroyed to eliminate the infection. I have a tooth missing which can only be rectfied by a bridge –which other dentists seem happy to provide—should I go for this??

My bad teeth is influencing my daily life please suggest on my issues.

Thursday, November 26th, 2009
Q.
I am wondering what help is available to me. I had to have my top teeth from the canine teeth backwards out 10 years ago due to absesses. Since then I have suffered depression with no confidence and can not form a proper relationship in case anybody finds out that I wear a denture. I have been to a dental hospital who estimated it would cost £30,000 with bone taken from my hip. I have heard of other ways of having implants cheaper without the bone from my hip. Would the NHS be able to contribute because I have suffered with depression for all these years and lost out on 10 years of my life? Every dentist I have gone to have been very unsympathetic and it has come to the point where I can not bear daily life because of this. I think of my teeth 24/7 and it has restricted my life in so many ways. I would be grateful of any advice you can give me or who to go to next. I can not afford to go private Please help.
