using super glue to stick my bridge back gives me a trout pout

Thursday, July 24th, 2008
Q.
I had my three teeth at the front bridged, which was fine, but it only lasted for about a year, the spikes broke ,they are still in my gums now. i am using super glue gel to stick them back in, my dentist went back to his own country(Sweden)I saw another Dentist and was told i would have to pay £1175. to have another bride done, as i receive disability allowance this is impossible to find, or i can have a plate made free, this is something i am not keen on as a few years ago i was told by a dentist that he thinks i will be one of these people that will be unable to have false teeth, i don’t know why may be it is because i have a very small mouth (yes it is true i have honest)i really don’t know what to do other than keep on with the super glue, which gives me a trout pout as my lips and some time tongue swell up any way thank you

My front tooth is loose due to gum disease should I have a Maryland bridge or denture

Thursday, July 10th, 2008
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
