I recently had a bridge made for the top of my mouth

Thursday, October 30th, 2008
Q.
I recently had a bridge made for the top of my mouth, it was an eleven unit bridge supported by 5 teeth. The problem is the bridge has overbite also it is lopsided because my gums have recided on one side. This is the second bridge i have had made because the first had worse overbite and was too big and did not fit my mouth properly.I am now worried that the 5 teeth supporting the bridge (2 front, canine and 2 back teeth) will get too much stress and will have problems. Do you think i would be better just crowning them and going back to what i originally had so if problems did arise the teeth could be worked on. This has been going on 9 months now and i am getting very wary. I just want to go back to what i had, but my dentist says that having crowns on my front teeth wont last i will be better with the bridge, but the bridge is wrong and 11 units held by 5 teeth now seems wrong. Are their any strong porcelain crowns available and what is your opinion on how to proceed. I am pulling my hair out. Thank you

I have had a bridge fitted on my top teeth

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008
Q.
I have had a bridge fitted on my top teeth due to the lateral incisor being missing on one side. I am not happy with the results as the 3 teeth now look bulky, stick out too much and are not a good colour match. I have been back to my cosmetic dentist who has said that it was difficult due to limited space because my canine had moved across a little to compensate for the gap. She has offered to do it again using a porcelain only bridge for a better colour match (& apparently less bulky), but she has warned me that the extra grinding required might kill the tooth and it would then need root canal treatment. She has quoted me £300 extra for a new bridge (plus £150 per tooth for any root canal treatment needed). Do you think opting for an all porcelain bridge is the best option for me now? And do you think it is reasonable for my dentist to request more money when I am unhappy with the initail result? Also, what are the risks of having a dead tooth? My teeth are currently very healthy. Thank you.

I have a bridge, on upper part of mouth, that covers 4 teeth

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008
Q.
Hi! I have a bridge, on upper part of mouth, that covers 4 teeth (two missing teeth in the middle of the bridge). I am feeling slight movement on the back part (4th tooth from back moler)of the bridge. What do you suggest I do? the bridge starts with my fang tooth on the right side of my mouth which is intact completely. the only movement is the cemented part towards the molers. is there a way a dentist can remove it and re-cement. The bridge is about 8 years old. Thank you for your time.

I currently have a temporary bridge

Thursday, September 25th, 2008
Q.
I currently have a temporary bridge (top front 4 teeth) and my dentist is recommending implants for the final bridge. With 2 implants and a 4 tooth bridge I’m looking at a bill of around £6k! I also don’t want to go through the implant surgery being a nervous patient! Would it be possible to fit a 4 tooth bridge on mini-implants as this would make the bill at least manageable and the treatment less traumatic?

chobert instead of a bridge

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
Q.
I am interested in a bridge in my upper right side. Someone has said that I will be offered a ‘chobert’ ? which is a removable device and not a permanent tooth arrangement. I would not be happy with a tooth that needs to be removed like a denture. I would appreciate your comments. Thanks & regards.
