I have a combination of crowns and bridges to my six front teeth,basically my 2nd incisors ?never grew and my canines were where my incisors should be,I have had porcelain crowns inserted to the four front teeth with a bridge on my twos to fill the gap,these were done in 1995,now two of the crowns have a grey gum margin so need replacing.The work was probably quite good in its day but the bridge teeth are not very convincing and my twos are too big( probably as underneath are my canines )they do look a bit ugly do you think they could be improved?
Many thanks

Should I replace my bridge with implants?

Hi,
I have a failing bridge involving UR1,2 & 3. UR3 needs an extraction UrR1 a root canal. I have been advised by 2 dentists that I should have an implant on UR3 with a cantilever bridge to replace my missing 2, with a seperate crown on UR1( the Dr said a large implant here will easily hold 2 teeth.
Another clinic I visited recommended 2 implants on ur3 and 2. They wont do a cantilever bridge option they believe the physics/mechanics of it i.e forces of eating etc dont gaurantee it to last. I do have quite a heavy bite with some wear on my bottom teeth and this concerns me that it may cause too much pressure on cantilever option. Also would a larger than normal/necessary implant be needed to hold 2 teeth here? is it better to use 2 smaller ones to hold teeth separately. also I have a bridge on my left side involving same 3 teeth, would the two implants option make the other fitted bridge side look odd or not really an issue?. I really dont know what would be best, both clinics say their options would look better cosmetically. Help!!!
I have cracked my bridge, can I have it glued or should I get implants?

Hi
I have bridge that spans 7 teeth, front lower jaw. I have had this since the age of 19 and I am now 45. I had to have this bridge as 4 second teeth that did not appear, so had milk teeth until the age of 19. I have just cracked my bridge in the centre and its feels a little loose. Can this be “glued” or mended, or will I have to have implants?. Back when I was 19 I was able to get this on the NHS as it was deemed to be medical rather than cosmetic. Is this still a possibility?, if not can you give be a rough cost per implant, abutment and crown.
Many thanks

Am I suitable for a Maryland Bridge even though I have crowns on either side of the gap?

I have to replace 2 of my front teeth.I would like to use a Maryland bridge with
ceramic attachments instead of metal. However, I have crowns on both sides.
Can this type of bridge be bonded well to crowns?

Hi
My dentist suggests I have 2 implants and a bridge of one tooth added . Teeth 4 and5 implants and 6 is the bridge. I have to have teeth 5 and 6 roots removed as tooth 4 is already removed . The cost of this is quoted as £6350.00 . Do you think that cost is accurate? Only need bone on 1 implant.
