Which Material Would Be The Best For My Bridge?

Thursday, March 14th, 2013
Q.

Which material is better to make a
bridge? The original tooth that is holding the bridge is cracked. We know our chchoices are ceramic or metal back. I am 83 years old and am in pretty good health otherwise, no heart condition, diabetes, breathing trouble—just overweight. I take celebrex every other day, baby asprin, omneprozle, claritin genetic, and vitamins. i exercise about 4 to 5 times a week at a gymn. I have a hearing problem. I do not have false teeth. so my question really when it boils down to it is which is the best kind of bridge for me to go for considering my circumstances (age, health, supplements taken etc.) would the  bridge be better if it were, ceramic or metal back teeth?

I am going to have a metal biting surface on my bottom molar, will this be affected by my teeth grinding during the night?

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011
Q.

I was at the dentist today, I had a tooth that was severely affected by internal resorbtion (sp?)… and the tooth was completely hollow on the inside so I had to have it extracted. My dentist told me before he got my temporary bridge back from the lab or whoever and said that my back molars( I had number 14 extracted) are too short for them to put porcelain on the botton of the tooth so the bottom will be metal. I have never heard of this and I was wondering is this common and i was quite qorried cause i sometimes wake up and felt sore from teeth grinding at night…

Will I be aware of a new bridge?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010
Q.

I need to have a bridge to replace a single front denture that I no longer fits well. My dentist recommends one which is fused to metal bands. This sounds very awkward and uncomfortable – will I be very aware of it ?

A.
No, not if it’s done well.

Are there any alternatives to metal attachments?

Monday, April 26th, 2010
Q.
my son is 15 and requires treatment to correct his over bite and align his top teeth.He plays trumpet and his music tutor recommended he asks for a removable braces so treatment would not affect his standard of playing. We spoke with his orthordontist and she said he could have a removable brace to sort top teeth but a fixed brace will be required to correct bite on bottom set. Although he is happy to proceed with this treatment my son wondered if there is an alternative to the metal attachments even if just for 4 of his front lower teeth to use when attaching brace to avoid riping his lip/gums when pressing the trumpet mouthpiece to his lips when playing. He only thought of this question after our last consultation.,
