A tooth on my bridge is turning grey, what is wrong?

Thursday, June 23rd, 2011
Q.

I had two lava bridges placed on my front teeth earlier this year because I was missing a tooth on either side (they never grew in). The bridge on the left side looks perfect but the one on the right has started to look slightly grey. I am very careful about taking care of my teeth everyday. What would cause this and can it be corrected? The other thing I have noticed since the bridge on the right was placed is that it doesn’t feel like it is on the tooth right. I can feel a small part of my tooth between the bridge and my gum line. Could this be the cause?

Does peroxide damage a porcelain bridge?

Friday, April 15th, 2011
Q.

I have a year old 6 unit porcelain bridge in top front of mouth .I notice that it not as white about the bottom 1/8 of an inch. On the two front ones. It�s almost like they are clear and you can see a difference when I put my tongue behind them. Is this normal in some bridges? The bridge that this replaced was not like that it lasted 23 years. I lighten the bottom teeth to keep them as white as my bridge I�m wondering last time I got a bunch of peroxide on the back of this bridge is making my problem worse? I have read that bleaching has no effect on porcelain. I appreciate your time in answering me.

Thanks,

A.

I can’t afford to have my bridge replaced but it looks awful, can it be made to look normal?

Saturday, December 4th, 2010
Q.

Dr.Solanki,A year and a half ago,my regular dentist made me a bridge of 6 upper teeth,I have been unhappy since.I have expressed to him that when I DON’T smile big and when I’m talking,it looks like I don’t have any teeth!The teeth are perfectly aligned and look nice at the gumline but I can bite down on something flat and it is obvious they are arched upward.I told him this shortly after it was made but he just now finally tells me he can add on to my existing bridge with some substance to make them longer, and if it does not work he can remove the added on part and my bridge will not be damaged.Can this be done sucessfuly,look normal and hold up,and be removed without any damage?I cannot afford to replace this one(he says it cannot be removed anyway,and he has’nt offered)but this is interfering with my self confidence that I was supposed to be gaining from this procedure. Please help!

I have a 3 unit porcelaine brige due to having a missing tooth which is 2 back from my two front teeth. My problem now is that my two front teeth are slightly crooked.

I need bridges, but I can’t get my teeth whitened before they’re fitted. Will the porcelain react with the bleach?

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010
Q.
In around 5 weeks I will have porcelain bridges fitted after 18 months in braces, I have had these removed and now have retainers with plastic teeth in to maintain the gaps. My question is if I have my teeth bleached in the future will the porcelain bridges react and match with the bleach. If not what are my alternatives? I am in the forces and they would not bleach prior to matching for the bridges for cost reasons.,

The correct way is to have the… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
