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!!!

Should I replace my bridge with implants?

I have cracked my bridge, can I have it glued or should I get implants?
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011 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
Jenny

Have you any tips as to how to find a dental implant specialist to treat my daughter?
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011My daughter when aged 11 was involved in an accident which knocked her 2 front teeth out. She was lucky enough to have crowns fitted. Unfortunately one of her crowns has failed due to the fact that the tooth that was left in the gum has cracked which my dentist thinks was possibly sustained at the time of the trauma. This now means that she has no alternative, but to go down the implant route or denture route, but she is only 19 so the implant route would be better for her. I need to get as much information as I can on this subject and how I go about finding a specialist in this field in the area that I live which is Liverpool. Any advice would be appreciated.

How can I close gaps in my smile?
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011As a child my dentist extracted several teeth leaving me with large gaps which I hate. As I get older I’m finding my confidence is getting worse and am desperate to do something. I have thought about invisalign but don’t know how ling the treatment would take. I did buy some teeth bands on the Internet and if I wear one all night it does close the gap in my front teeth. But when I take it off the gap opens again in minutes. I’ve considered knocking my teeth out and having dentures. I feel that low. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
My fang teeth overlap, what can I do about this?
Tuesday, March 1st, 2011The ttooth either side of my two front teeth (Fang teeth ) have always slightly overlapped my front teeth and as a youngster I should have had a brace. I am now 45 and these fangs are now gradually twisting and lifting. My dentist says if it were removed, That the gap left would mean an implant that would be smaller than my actual teeth so would not be recommended. Any ideas
