Mt tooth between my eye tooth and front tooth is broken
Q. My crown and tooth has broken. It is the upper tooth between the front and eye tooth. A bridge has been suggested but only attached to one tooth. Does this seem right? Would you advocate a plate?
A. This is perfectly normal practice if you don’t want to have a plate or implant. There are two types of bridge that you can have a maryland bridge where the false tooth is attached by a metal or white fibre wing to the tooth next to it. This type of bridge is less destructive to the tooth but can come off from time to time. Not everybody is suitable for this type. The other more permanent type of bridge is when one of your teeth is shaved down a little and a crown is made with the false tooth bonded to it. This is the better type of bridge to have as it is stronger and will beable to withstand the biting forces better.
Your dentist has offered you the right treatment. Of course if you don’t want to have a bridge you could replace the tooth with a denture or implant
I hope this helps
Kind Regards

hi,
I am missing my back top teeth I only have 6 front teeth. I find it very hard eating. I am advised to have partial dentures or implants. I cannot afford implants. And I dont like the thought of dentures. Can I have a bridge attatched to one tooth on each side or do you need to have a tooth on each side?
Hi there, I am enquiring as to whether you offer dental implants or cobaltdentures for a single tooth and how much your prices start from. Please could you advise. Kind regards
Is it possible for me to have dental impants at my age of 60 ?
I have recently had to start using a partial denture,that although looks very good I would like to understand what other solutions are available. Would very much appreciate your advice.
