Can two lower central incisors fit into a space enough for only one?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Q.
I have a tooth gap caused by missing two lower central incisors. then my dentist discussed with me that the solution with the problem is to enlarge the gap more enough to fit a fixed bridge so he had to put braces on my teeth. its been 10 months now, and the gap’s size now is like enough for one central incisor. but he said its enough space to place already the fixed bridge. im wondering how could 2 lower central incisors fit onto a space enough for only one? can you help me, am i on the right track here? thanks…

How soon will the implant procedure can be completed?

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009
Q.
My mother has just (on friday) had the rest of her upper teeth extracted after the front 6 were bridged ten years ago and unfortunately came loose a few months ago. Her dentist has provided her with dentures that are very lifelike but unbearable for her to live with. Dentures are not an option in her mind at present with her being a young 57 year old. We are exploring the avenue of implants and possibly implants with a bridge. how soon will this be able to be completed? We understand there are healing processes from the initial extraction and the implant procedure…but can you give us some kind of idea. thank you. kind regards.

Is there a possibility to shave the sides of canine Plz advice

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I’ve had surgery to expose both canines in my palette and a brace to move them forward, however the spaces aren’t large enough for them to move into the correct position. Both caninees sit in place, but behind the natural position. Is it possible to attach a false tooth (or a thick veneer?) to the front of each of the real canines rather than to have a bridge or brace? Or would it be a possibility to shave the sides of each canine and both adjacent teeth on each side to give the canines room to move forward without the removal of any upper molars and use of a brace to create space? Many thanks

Can I hv another bridge done in NHS Plz advice

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
I had a bridge for about 15years which consisted of 2 back crowns a front crown which supported the 2 teeth that were missing on the upper jaw and the bridge was good but it started to come loose and my dentist told me that it was because my gums were receeding so it would have to be replaced so it was with a front and back crown that was nearly 5 years ago but now the bridge has broke off from the front crown, The same dentist has suggested a denture as I would not get another bridge,As dental treatmant is so expensive in the UK I was thinking about haveing it done abroad, So please could you advise me if there is any other options with the NHS about haveing another bridge done? Thank You

Can a bridge be filled down Plz advice

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I wonder if you can help. I had an upper bridge fitted by an NHS dentist and it really is the worst thing I have ever done. The 4 teeth are massive and I feel my smile has been ruined. I now speak with a slight lisp and have a constant dry mouth. I also now have an over bite. This bridge also sticks out farther than the teeth either side of it. I am so upset about this.My question I guess it – can a bridge be filled down

What is the cause for other unit of bridge to feel rough?

Monday, October 19th, 2009
Q.
Hello Dr Solanki I had a missing tooth at the back of my upper teeth, the front two had previously been veneered some 14 years ago and one tooth next to a front tooth was a crown. I wanted the crown replaced, a bridge to be fitted to fill the missing tooth and the rest of my uppert teeth, which were healthy, to be veneered. The dentist thought it best to replace the whole upper teeth with two seper bridges, one starting from the right front and one fron the left front, a total of 11 teeth. the bridge unit starting from the left is ok , feeling quite smooth, but the other unit feels rough.What is causing this and what would be the remedy, and also, is it wise to file down perfectly healthy teeth to take a bridge? Thanks
