My front tooth is loose due to gum disease should I have a Maryland bridge or denture
Q. Hi, I have a front loose tooth due which I am about to lose due to Gum disease. I have been offered the option of replacing the tooth with a denture (dont want this) or a Maryland bridge. Only problem with the bridge is that I have read that the metal can show through the teeth & that a gap may be visible due to gum shrinkage. In the long term I would like an implant to replace this loose tooth but have been told that the gum diseases in that area has to clear before an implant is possible. Would you advise me to go with a temporary denture or the maryland bridge, how long would you recommend i wait before going for an implant?. Thanks
A. If the tooth is infected by the gum disease the best thing is to have the tooth extracted. it is then a personal option to have the denture or the maryland bridge. it just depends on whether or not you want to have something removable or not. if you are going to have the implant then the bridge or denture will only be a temporary measure. the implant should be placed eight weeks after the extraction of the tooth. hope this is all helpful. if you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.
hi…please help!! i had my front tooth knocked out in a fight 1 week ago but before this i had gum missing around the front of this tooth and i could see the complete root.which is why it was a little loose in the first place.however now its missing completely im really worried i wont be able to have an implant due to that missing front gum tissue.i dont want dentures and a bridge requires grinding down my two heathy teeth….ive lost all confidence and dont want to leave the house. please give me advice. many thanks. marcus
I have no natural teeth left and my dentures are now worn. I want to replace them and have the bite corrected. Can you do this and have the new dentures look the same as my present set? I am 64 years old and I would like teeth that look natural for my age.
I currently have a total of 6 unsightly top teeth, all crooked and one broken (all at the front between two protruding canines. My enquiry is that would a partial valplast denture be suitable both practically and aesthetically, equally if so what is the estimated cost of X6 exractions and the associated denture.

Dear Sir/Madam I am enquiring as to whether it is possible to have a full set of upper dentures made from Valplast as I am considering replacing my current set and I am looking for alternatives to the standard denture. At thesame time I will also consider implants and i woud appreciate if you wouldforward me some details on the procedure (e.g initial consultation etc)
