What kind of bridge is best suited to allow the gum to heal properly?
Q. Hi,i had a bridge fitted on my front teeth as my crown fell out and root snapped.My dentist fitted bridge last October but feels really bad and i cannot get used to it,my dentist also advised would take my gum 5-6 months to stop healing before he could do anything with this,can you please advise will my dentist be able to rectify this and make it look better.
A. In these situations I will place a temporary bridge to allow the gum to heal properly and form a nice shape to accept the bridge. This is then changed to a permanent bridge after about 6 months – this will feel smooth and comfortable in comparison to the temporary bridge which is basically made out of plastic
