Is sub-standard material used for making dental bridges?

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q.
Hello, I had a bridge fitted in April.Yesterday I bit a piece of sellotape off the roll and as a result a piece chipped off the bottom of my tooth. My dentist said I need a new bridge, I was told that bridges are only guaranteed for 3 months, I thought that fillings,crowns etc were guaranteed for 12 months. I had a bridge previously for 12 years with no problems (also using my teeth on Sellotape). This makes me wonder if the materials used are sub-standard as I have done nothing extreme to warrant the damage.

My temporary filling has chipped should I be concerned?

Monday, November 30th, 2009
Q.
Hi, I had been given a temporary filling about 6 months ago and I am due to have the permanent filling done in a couple of weeks. However, the other night the same tooth (near back of mouth) partially chipped/cracked on the inside edge of the tooth, exposing some of the temporary filling. There is no pain but my question is, should this be of some concern to me given I am about to have a filling, and is the enamel able to be bonded back to the tooth or if not, what procedure, if any, is likely to take place? Many Thanks

Most likely the dentist will b… (Click here to read the rest of the answer)

Can cosmetic dentistry help my teeth look natural?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
An accident in my childhood knocked out my front tooth and chipped the took next to it, I am now 17 and the nhs has still not fixed my teeth yet which is distressing as I am meeting new people at college and i find it embarrassing, although i am now in the process of wearing a brace which I started wearing may this year, the plan is that they eventually place a bridge between my existing front tooth and my chipped one but this is only short term as I’m not 18 yet and cannot get a tooth drilled in. however I was wondering what my long terms options are for when i am older apart from getting a tooth drilled in, as I am worried that neither a bridge or a false tooth is going to look quite the same as real teeth, is there any other options that may look more attractive, and if so how much are they likely to cost? And what is the best option? Thank you
