I Am Unsure Whether To Switch To A Rochette Bridge As My Maryland Bridge Keeps Falling Out?

Thursday, January 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark.

About 14 months ago I had an epileptic fit where I fell on my face. As a result I fractured one tooth and lost the other.
I began with wanting implants, but could not afford this option. It resulted in having a dental plate which recently led to a Maryland bridge being fitted.
However the bridge has come away three times now. Is there anything else that can be recommended? I have just heard of a Rochette bridge, I am unsure what to do?
Please can you give me some advice. Many thanks.

I Am Considering A Maryland Bridge, How Long Do They Last With Good Oral Hygiene?

Tuesday, November 26th, 2013
Q.

Hi Marcus. I am considering having a Maryland Bridge put in because I hate wearing the flipper and I don’t want to wait a year for an implant. Is it true that the Maryland Bridge can cause my teeth to darken? How long can the Maryland bridge last with good oral hygiene?
I have already had the initial extraction and grafting done by an oral surgeon. I am now wearing the flipper but don’t like it. Hard to eat with and not easy to talk as I do lectures and training. Would the MB be a wise choice for me?

I Need A Permanent Solution As I Don’t Like Wearing Partial Dentures. What Can Be Done?

Tuesday, October 29th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes, I have periodontitis also known as gum disease, and just had my lower two teeth pulled out yesterday. I’m on partial dentures at the moment and I hate the feel of it, I can’t afford dental implants and my dentist says that I would have to wait six months for the gums to heal and he will give me a Maryland bridge only after six months. My X-ray has shown that the supporting teeth will hold it fine, I’m really depressed and need a permanent solution? Is this the correct treatment option to take? I hope you can hope me sort this out as I’m getting sick of it. Thank you.

I Would Like To Know If A Maryland Bridge Is At All Suitable For Double Teeth?

Friday, October 11th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Moore, I have a question I’ve been wondering about. Can a Maryland bridge be used for double teeth or are they only for the front single teeth?
I have a double tooth snapped off and I wonder if once extracted it could be replaced with a Maryland bridge.
I also have a single tooth snapped off that I think needs to be extracted. The single tooth is next to a tooth that has one side of the metal wing of the Maryland bridge attached to it. Is it possible to attach another wing to the same tooth? Thanks for answering my question, it’s much appreciated.

I Feel My Dentist Isn’t Up To Scratch, But If I Move I Would Have To Pay For Dental Work. What Do I Do?

Friday, September 27th, 2013
Q.

Hi, I have been to the same dentist for about 20 years. I pay privately (denplan) saw the hygienist there the other day and I told her I wasn’t happy about my upper side teeth – some are missing and I notice one side the teeth look very small(ground down). Once when cleaning them a wad of cotton wool fell out and the dentist said that lasted well. I not happy with the state of my back teeth told the hygienist and she said my dentist is a make do and mend! She stated she wouldn’t put up with it. What do I do? It was the hygienist’s assistance who suggested I had a maryland in another part of my teeth – the same dentist wasn’t forth coming. Your comment would be greatly appreciated. I did contact denplan and was told if I move to another denplan dentist I would have to pay for dental work.

I’d Like To Know If I Can Use Super-Glue To Fix My Maryland Bridge Back In Place?

Friday, September 20th, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Shaffie, after one of my Maryland bridges fell off, I would like to know if I can fix it back in place with super-glue. The reason I want to do this is that I don’t have dental insurance and I have a very low paying job making it difficult to afford. So I want to know if it’s okay to use super glue to glue back the Maryland bridge. Secondly I want to know if fluoride in toothpaste is healthy for your teeth. Some people I’ve heard have said it’s not very healthy. What would you advise me to do? I would appreciate your advice on these matters.

Hi, I Was Wondering Whether Braces Can Be Placed Over A Maryland Bridge?

Thursday, September 5th, 2013
Q.

Hello, I was wondering if you could help me? When I was 12 I had braces to open up a space. This space had to be opened up in order to compensate for my missing lateral incisors which had to be replaced with dental implants. Now I am 18 and have been told there is not enough space in the roots to place the actual dental implant and I have been advised to have even more orthodontic treatment, I am just wondering if the braces can be placed over the Maryland bridge I currently have and also how long it would take to open up roughly 4mm of space for dental implants to be placed? Any response will be greatly received, thank you.

I Recovered A Tooth Playing Rugby. I’m Worried It Will Fall Out When I Eat, Do I Need Treatment?

Friday, August 23rd, 2013
Q.

Hi, I had my tooth knocked out playing a rugby match two years ago. I managed to save the tooth and they put it back in with a brace for six weeks. I haven’t suffered with any problems up until now however, as it has now come loose and it is making it hard for me to chew and eat my food. What are the possible treatment solutions open to me? I’m worried and scared that it may fall out at any moment, and it’s changed the way I sound when I talk. I am also worried about the possible costs that could occur due to my financial restrictions. So I’d like to know the costs? Can you help me with my enquiries? Thanks.
