Implant bridges have not aligned bite as dentist promised they would
Q. I have had two implants in the upper right jaw and one in the lower right to support bridges for my missing back teeth.I was told this is what I needed to agline my bite but I cannot close my back teeth there is a massive gap at the back and this has made no difference to the shape of my face it still looks thin they really hurt and I have spent a lot of money please advise me thank you.,
A. Implant bridges are designed as a tooth replacement. This means that function and aesthetics should be restored as best possible. If this is not the case, then you may need to have the bridgework replaced. I advise that you stress these concerns with the dentist who carried out the work. You should be covered in the cost that you have already paid if you are not happy with the final result. Alternatively, you can have the work replaced elsewhere- but as you’re aware this will be extra cost.If you don’t feel happy going back to the same dentist, many places offer free consultations where you can get a 2nd opinion from another dentist.
