Can dental bridge be refitted?

Monday, February 8th, 2010
Q.
Hi I have had a front single bridge crown since 2001 but unfortunately I must have ground my teeth whilst sleeping last night and the tooth became detached it is in perfect condition and so is the what appears to be metal filling material that bonded it to the next tooth. My obvious question can I have this refitted? My dentist did advise when she first fitted this that you never quite get the same strength on subsequent bonds? Thank You,
A.

Is implant a good option for me now?

Friday, February 5th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr. Moore, I have a dental cantilever bridge for missing teeth for past 18 years, at first PM, 24. In order to strengthen the present alignment and for cosmetic looks I was considering an implant not available as option when I did the bridge. My bridge was very tight in contact with my canine, 23 and I feel 23 is pushing it. I did visit my dentist to help in this matter. She told me is not problem with this tight contact. Is almost 4 year from the time I had cemented this bridge, and my 23 is coming out, day by day like orthodontic pressure…and is move more frontal, now is over erupt because is not antagonist to stop, and is bone lost vertical and pocket 10mm, at mesial side of 23. What I can do?,

What treatment can I get to fill tooth gap?

Thursday, January 21st, 2010
Q.
I broke my tooth in early preganancy and was told I would probably need a root canal when the baby was born. The baby is now born and on returning to the dentist, he got rid of most of the decay and put a temporary filling in. I cannot put any pressure on the tooth and it is very sensitive – on returning today another dentist said extraction is the only option as it is too decayed. I am 34 and already have lost one tooth years ago so am worried to lose another – are there any other options? Or if it is taken out what can I do to fill the gap?,
A.
If it isn’t possible to root c… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)
