Hi Andrew. I recently had a bridge fitted it is a two unit bridge. It looks like porcelain bonded to metal. However I broke a piece of the porcelain when it chipped off the metal, I had this fitted at a cost of 1200 euros. I thought it was complete porcelain and was a little shocked to find the metal and I phoned the dentist. They don’t seem very helpful and they kind of make you feel like it’s your fault. Is this a common problem you come across?
Thank you for your help and advice.
Hi. When I was younger I was fitted with a brace to close the gap at the front of my teeth, but it also appeared when my baby teeth either side of my front ones, fell out. There was no bigger ones coming through so I was fitted with a bridge with a black filler behind them which is very unattractive.
Also, after the brace was taken off my gap reappeared and pushed the bridge slightly, so now they are uneven.
I really want to fix this problem as I am 23 now and my teeth have been like this since I have been 15 and I have always had the gap there.
What can I do to resolve this?
Thank you.
Hi, I have just lost my bridge from my lower left gum, in the process i have had to have an extraction of my LL7 basically my back molar. Which has left me with 3 teeth missing and my LL4 has just had a crown and apicoectomy. Which left me with a floating bone, I am ruling out implants because of the price and the fact I may have weak bones in my mouth, I have been looking for a perfect fit denture with no regards to price and have come across valplast dentures. Would it be possible to have this denture considering i have no back molar to sit it on. Also do you think these dentures are the best available.i would like to sort this out but want to choose the right dentures so that i am not in the same position again. thanks
My top front teeth are two crowns with a bridge. They have lasted 26 years and have recently come out twice due to wear of the teeth they are fixed on to. My dentist advised me that my only option now is implants or dentures, I don’t really want either of these. Is it not possible to have a new bridge fitted with more teeth on the bridge. This would then be a crown at each side with four teeth on the bridge. or is this too many teeth for a bridge. Can any one advise me on this please?
I have a bridge with the front tooth missing therefore other front tooth and tooth at side of missing one being the bridge. my bridge has become loose and I have recently discovered that I have an infection in the other front tooth,i have been told i need a bigger bridge of 6 teeth which would include the 2 molars, my question is, is it necessary to grind down that amount of good teeth? The dentist said it would be because of the weight of the teeth. i have also been quoted 3,200 is this a reasonable price or should I look for another opinion?
