Can I have implants to fill a gap after removing a problem cyst?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010
Q.

I have a bridge on my lower front middle teeth, spanning a gap where a single tooth was removed approx 5 years ago. The whole bridge is now rocking forwards and backwards slightly and x-rays reveal a cyst at the bottom of one of the supporting pegs. Implant(s) seem to be the way forward but is this possible given the cyst? If time is needed to clear up the cyst what can be done cosmetically while this healing is taking place? Thanks

I have two bridges which are quite old (20 years) and am getting married at the end of December (very last minute). In the past year my gums have receeded and you can see some of the top of the bridge. I am worried about my photographs and I have very little money to have them replaced just now.
