How Do I Look After a Bridge?

Wednesday, April 15th, 2015
Q.

I have two gaps on the left side of my mouth and one gap on the right side. I’m thinking about having a bridge. Which is the best one and what is the cost? Does it hurt to have it done and how long would it take to be done? After having it done how do I look after them? Is there anything I need to do before I have this fitted, and do you have to drill any part of my gums? Do I need to do anything at night to my mouth when I’m going to bed, and can I clean them like normal teeth with normal toothpaste?

I’ve Recently Had A New Bridge Fitted, But I Am Unhappy As My Teeth Seem Too Big. Is There Any Way This Can Be Sorted Out?

Thursday, October 9th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. I have a new bridge on my front teeth, 3 units to replace the original bridge which broke, but I am not happy with it as my teeth are too long. Can the teeth be shortened or am I stuck with it? Also it doesn’t fit correctly as my bottom tooth hits the metal on the back of my front tooth. I am also unable to close my back teeth together. It was done through the NHS and I know the teeth underneath are highly compromised, so I think it’s unlikely that it can be taken off without damaging what’s left of my front teeth. I am unable to afford implants unfortunately, so is there a way this bridge can be sorted? Thank you.

I Have A Long Front Bottom Tooth Which Is Very Noticeable When I Talk. What Treatment Could I Have For This?

Wednesday, March 12th, 2014
Q.

Hello Andrew, I have a question for you. I have a long front bottom tooth which is very noticeable when I talk. My dentist says it’s because of my bite as I have a bridge on my front upper set of teeth. It is greatly affecting my confidence and ideally I really need to sort this out. Could I have a brace fitted or maybe have the tooth capped?
What treatment could I have for this and what are the prices? Also is it possible to pay each month instead of all at once? I look forward to your reply. Thank you.

How Can I fix My Teeth Without Effecting My Speech And Appearance On The Way

Friday, January 25th, 2013
Q.

I currently have a bridge over a front missing tooth, anchored on both sides. The remaining front tooth that is an anchor has a root fill, this was done some 20 years ago. I have some gingivitus around the gum line of this tooth and now have discomfort on the very top edge of the bridged tooth up against the gum line. The bridge is very firm, but I feel discomfort when pressure is put on the tooth. I have been given Amoxicillin which has not eased the problem. I have had an Xray and the root canal is still good with no absess or problems showing on the xray but there is a metal plate on the back of the bridge that covers anything that may be going on with the tooth itself. I am paranoid about them doing anything with the bridge in case I end up loosing the front anchoring tooth. The dentist has suggested a course of flagyl next stept. I do lots of lectures and am very self concious about my speech and my appearance – what should I do not please?

I think the source of the prob… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

I’m Unhappy With My New Implants,Should My Dentist Alter Them Because I Am Not Happy With Them?

Monday, January 7th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I have had an implant in my UL 1 and a connecting bridge to my UR1. I had the fitting on December 20th 2012 for the first time and am not happy with the overall appearance of them. the front surface area is too rounded for my liking and I would like them flattened of.. also the ‘v’ between the 2 teeth is very high giving the appearance of the 2 front teeth looking very block like! I have asked my cosmetic dentist for these changes to be made as I am not happy and have payed 9,000 pound for the smile I wanted. he has refused me on the basis that he thinks they look fine. I am in belief that if I am not happy and the work can be done then it should be?

I would personally make sure y… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

The bridge is digging into my gums, what can I do about this?
