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 recently received a trauma to my two upper front teeth

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008
Q.
I recently received a trauma to my two upper front teeth which resulted in one snapping quite high up and the other discolouring. The snapped tooth has been fitted with a carbon-fibre post and the orginal tooth adhered back on but regularly comes loose being very irritating and leaving an unpleasant taste in my mouth. I was charged £198 for this procedure but am now considering crowns but my dentist says they will be £600 each is this correct. Should I not receive a crown for no further charge as his recommended treatment has not worked?
