Can a dental bridge be placed in the back teeth by a regular non-cosmetic dentist ?

Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr Kailesh Solanki, Is fitting a bridge, even for a gap in the upper row of one’s back teeth always a issue of cosmetic dentistry? Would that mean that my dentist who does not specialise in cosmetic dentistry would not be able to do the work safely?

Can you tell me what is better for my missing tooth… a Maryland Bridge or a Pontic Bridge?

Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Q.
Hello Dr Riten Patel, I was hoping you could shed some light with your expertise on the best treatment to replace my missing front tooth. I know you can have implants or dentures or bridges and I think I am going to go for the bridges because it is a cheaper option than the implant and I cannot afford an implant at the moment. My question is that some people talk about maryland bridges and pontic bridges what is the difference and what is the best one for me? Thanks for taking the time to read this in advance. Kind regards J

Thursday, January 31st, 2008
Q.
Three and a half years ago I had a bridge fitted to my front 6 toop teeth. I haven’t been happy with the work but never dared complain about the work done as it was a reconstruction after a accident. The teeth are not straight and run upwards towards the right side. My tounge shows more than it should and I don’t smile in photo’s because I don’t like my smile. Could anything be done to correct my smile? L

The bone supporting by front teeth is wasing away Can I have a bridge or dental implants

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008
Q.
I have had been told by the Roayl School of Dentistry in Belfast that the bone supporting my two front teeth (both crowned due to injury as a child) is wasting away. I don’t know where to go from here as I would like to have either a bridge or implants …. probably a bridge as it would be less expensive. Would this be feasible ??
