My bridge keeps falling off, but I don’t want a dental implant, what can I do?

Tuesday, January 17th, 2012
Q.

Hi Mark,

3 years ago, my side tooth was extracted and the dentist suggested that I have a bridge which is glued/cemented to either side of the teeth. For the past 2 years, I have gone back to my dentist (sometimes on a monthly basis) as the bridge keeps falling out. Each visit is costing me £90.00. I don’t want an implant. Would you suggest a false tooth, or is this not possible. Many thanks for you time.

Monday, September 12th, 2011
Q.

my tooth(milk) is half broken since i was 15 years old and i did not go to a dentist at that time. it is now decaying and stinking,i am an university student and i have to do a lot of presentations and my tooth is causing a problem since the half broken teeth is found in the front of my mouth and it is visible. what i would like to know is that, can permanent tooth be grown at the age of 20?i still got my milk tooth and it is decaying. so will my permanent tooth grow when i will remove the milk tooth at this age or will i have to replace a tooth? Everyone is suggesting me to replace the one tooth. the dental implants is costing a lot and your advice would be a great help to me. Thanks in advance

How long do dental implants last?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

I’m 20 and got a dental implant 2weeks ago, as I’m young I’m really anxious on the long term issues. Do crowns on implants become loose or fall out frequently, as far as your as your aware. It just that there a lot things you read on the internet about loose screws and crowns etc. I know you trust everything you read on the internet, it that its a life long decision and I would greatly appreciate the opinion of a expert. And if there was a time period in the life of the implant where instances such ad these where likely to occur

Teeth whitening treatments don’t seem to be working, would lumineers be a good option?

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011
Q.

My teeth and gums are healthy I do have one implant at the front which Im very pleased with and one crown which is doing fine. I have some filling but my main complaint now is I really want white teeth as ive tryed whitening treatment but not enough of a change for me I want something to work quickly and be how I want to look from the start. My teeth are very straight and I was thinking that Lumineers may be the way forward as I dont want my teeth worked on or to much preparation if possible. Plus would I have to do something with the Implant and Crown or can this go over the top.
