Do you think a Maryland Bridge is a good idea for soft bone?

Friday, January 14th, 2011
Q.

I had a taitnaum implant put in but my bones were too soft and it was taken out. He is now considering a Maryland bridge, do you think this is a good idea, also he is still charging me the same price.

What can i do about my teeth being so close together?

Thursday, January 6th, 2011
Q.

Hi Mark. I chipped my front teeth in an accident when I was younger and to make the edges look cleaner, a dentist filed around 3mm off the width of the front two teeth instead of bonding the damage. However, I’m older now and the gaps in my teeth he made closed in time but I am still not happy with my smile. The front teeth look too narrow now than what they originally were and as the roots are closer together (because the teeth have moved together and aren’t as wide as they used to be) it is kind of hurting my jaw a bit and I feel like wanting to pull them apart. Are their any options available to get my front teeth back to being slightly wider again? I have a maryland bridge replacing my right canine tooth and gum recession on one of my front teeth (which actually makes it look even narrower!). Will this be an issue? Is it possible that you could get an orthodontist to space the front teeth slightly and then cover the gaps with wider veneers so there is no gap and the teeth are wider again or would you have to have more than 2 veneers? Its only the two top fronts I have a problem with, the rest of the mouth is fine!

My Maryland bridges keep falling out, what can be done?

Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010
Q.

Hello,
I have had two maryland bridges in on the top (the last teeth before the big ones…). the first time they were placed in the early 1990s by an american dentist- one of them is still in place. the second one started falling out in november 2007. Finally mu dutch dentist made a new bridge- and placed it in in october 2008.It has fallen out twice since then… is this to be expected or is there something wrong with the construction she made? what could be wrong with the bridge and what could be done? ( i am extremely careful with the foods i eat!- so that is not the problem). Thanks for your advice!

Can I have a crown fitted and what will it cost?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010
Q.

Hi, I have four front crowns (had accident when younger). Main front crown no longer viable as ‘wall’ collapsed. Ended up with one tooth on a plate into top of mouth. Also have a partial denture on bottom teeth. Feels as if tongue too big for mouth. Only fitted today, told it will go back to normal. My question is could I have the Maryland/Resin denture/crown fitted? If so, what cost would I be looking at?

My daughter has been recommended implants to replace her baby teeth and then braces. Are there any alternatives?

Tuesday, November 16th, 2010
Q.
My 16yr daughter has been fitted a brace as she has missing adult teeth either side of her top middle teeth. we have been told that the best option is to have implants in the gaps and then bring in the rest of the teeth so that any gaps are at the back, but we are unsure whether this is the best option and we would like to know what are the other options if any. My daughter would prefer to have bridges as this would be less painful and give a quicker result but the orthodontist seems to not want to fit them. as we are paying privately for her treatment i think my daughters views should be taken into account. Are we entitled to have a second opinion and be referred to have the rest of the work completed under the nhs? can you advise.,
