My teeth were filed down in preparation for a bridge but now the dentist says I can’t have them. What can I do?
Q.
Good Evening. I have had my front teeth prepared for a fixed bridge. My 3 natural teeth were filed down and temporary bridge cemented on. It looks quite hideous to be honest, but I was prepared to put up with this in the expectation of a decent bridge, but dentist has told me he will do one long bridge over the filed down teeth now, instead of 3 crowns and a bridge fitted to these, as you say is how they are fitted. I am really fed up and want to confront this dentist, but he is a bit of a bully, so i need to be clear on what I can and can’t have. He told me, before the prep work, that my 3 natural teeth were strong enough to fit the bridge. Can you help, or advise, please. Thanks for your time.

Its very difficult to comment on treatment without seeing the patient first. Perhaps you should seek advice from another dentist in the practice or another local dentist
