I have been told that there is a new type of bridge available that is made with plastic now. Do you know the name of this and its advantages and disadvantages?

Q.
My tooth front teeth were capped about 7 years ago. In December I had to have one of the teeth pulled due to a cyst in my gum which had ate into my bone. The oral surgeon has told me I have healed well, the cyst was a normal cyst, however, due to the lack of bone, I cannot be a candidate for a titanium post and crown. I am trying to research bridges before my appointment with my dentist. I have been told that there is a new type of bridge available that is made with plastic now. Do you know the name of this and its advantages and disadvantages? Any assistance you can give me I would appreciate. Thank you.

i have been advised that for some reason a conventional bridge wouldn’t work, but someone recomended a Maryland bridge

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009
Q.
Hi there. At the moment i have a single top denture with a couple of teeth at the side and one tooth which is near the front. With this being a single tooth it has broken a couple of times as the joint is so delicate and i have had to have it repaired. At the moment i am having it repaired again as a crack has appeared accross the joint.I am so aware of this problem that i try to avoid biting on it which is difficult, and there are times when on my own that i take the denture out when i eat. If i don’t wear it i am very self concious of the gap with it being near the front. I am looking for a replacement where i can confidently bite and eat on it with not being afraid that it will break off. I am aware that an implant would solve the problem but i am also aware that they are very expensive. Could you give me some advice on this please, i have been advised that for some reason a conventional bridge wouldn’t work, but someone recomended a Maryland bridge. Would this be strong enough to give me confidence to eat and bite on it? I look forward to your advice. Regards

Hi Dr.Glaister I am now 32years and I sing in public! I’ve had Braces for Three years from 2000 – 2003 because my Canine teeth were next to my front teeth!

I was born without all my teeth what kind of bridge would you reccomend

Thursday, July 31st, 2008
Q.
Dear Dr Tennet, I have a healthy set of teeth and mouth in general- however i was born with too few teeth! I have a bridge for my two missing teeth (one either side of my front two), but I’ve had this for some time, since about 13/14 and now i’m 24 I would like a better, more realistic bridge. The one I have currently i believe is a ‘maryland’ bridge, on metal backing. i find this changes the colour of my teeth either side of the bridge and the overall effect is not good. What type/brand of bridge would you suggest I go for? I have been going to the same dentist all my life and I feel they are reluctant to carry out treatments – I turned private when the practise did but I do not feel the service has changed; I need a second opinion please. Any ideas? Thank you

I had an accident and knocked my two front teeth out I have a Maryland bridge

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008
Q.
I had an accident in December fractured my skull and knocked out my two front teeth, I currently have a maryland bridge fitted for tempory measure and don’t know what to do now I am seeing my surgeon in May, my dentist wants my roots removed to fit another bridge but I would like to know about implants, the problem is my teeth were not straight so the gap where my teeth were knocked out is not big enough to fit four teeth in and if I just had two teeth there they would be very big so I don’t if to get the front six teeth as implants as my dentist is going to shave them down to fit the bridge so i would loose them anyway, the surgeons left the roots in for me to have posts fitted and then a tooth but I can’t find any information about it anywhere, also my surgeon does not seem to keen on removing the roots. What would be the best cause of action to gain the best results please help!
