What is an alternative for a dental bridge?

Q. As a child I had two of my front teeth removed at a dental college as they told me I needed a brace to correct my bite. I had the teeth removed and the brace fitted which didnt have the result the wanted.My current dentist and previous dentist have told me that my teeth did not need any correction as it was a slight overbite. I didnt have any further treatment as I had very bad experiences. I now have two bridges at the front and would like an alternative. What would you suggest? Many Thanks

A. The alternative to a bridge is an impant. An impant would be placed where the gaps are and the other teeth that have been preped to hold the bridges would have to be replaced with single crowns.

You may want to consider having nicer bridges placed if it is just the appearence you are unhapy with.

I recommend that you book in to see a cosmetic dentist and an Implantologist to explore which option is right for you.
