Would A Cantilever Bridge Be A Reasonable Form Of Treatment In My Case? Or Would You Recommend Something Else?
Q.
Dear Dr Butt, on the top left side of my mouth all the teeth after my eye tooth to the back of my mouth are missing. (they crumbled due to medication I was on for many years). Would I be able to have a cantilever bridge for those 3 -4 missing teeth? At the moment I have a dental plate but I think the clasp around my eye tooth is unsightly and I would love not to have something against my palette all the time. If you don’t think the form of treatment I have suggested is any good could you please recommend something else? Something that I could easily look into. Thank you very much for your help in advance, I’m just looking into getting it sorted as soon as possible. It’s beginning to make me feel awfully self conscious, this clasp just looks terrible. I feel like everyone is always looking at it! Thanks again, regards.

hello, thank you for your question. In my opinion, I don’t think a bridge would be possible. I think in your case a realistic approach would be a new denture or dental implants. I hope this helps and good luck!
