I have just had a new porcelain bridge fitted (4/5 upper left) and although the dentist insisted the fit was good I knew it felt too high, after much drilling I said it was okay but would let it settle for a few days. I feel it is still too high and plan to return to my dentist ASAP however I would like to know
a.) Will the constant drill undermine the new bridge? b.) Should a cantilever bridge fit under the gum line like a crown? My brand new bridge looks like it has a small space between bridge and gum line toward the inner side of tooth but again the dentist said through looking at X-ray it was an excellent fit. Please advise me.
Kind regards.
I have seen two dentistry experts over getting a full upper arch implant done and both have said two different things to me one has told me that the acrylic would not last and i would need porcelain and the other has said that porcelain would damage my own bottom teeth as they would wear down over time so i don’t now which one i should go for also one is saying they will make dentures for me until my gums have healed after having the four implants then after 4 month the would the fix my permanent teeth so can you please help me as i don’t know who is right and what way or what type i should get my bone is fine for this treatment waiting your reply asp thank you and I really look forward to seeing how you can advise me.
i need a full upper set of teeth how many implants do i need and how natural can you make them i have enough bone to support four implants and have been recommended to have bone grafting to have six implants or i can make due with four and have a denture fitted over the gum but i feel i want teeth fitted without a plate can you enlighten me about the pro`s and con`s my bottom teeth are sound thank you
I had two lava bridges placed on my front teeth earlier this year because I was missing a tooth on either side (they never grew in). The bridge on the left side looks perfect but the one on the right has started to look slightly grey. I am very careful about taking care of my teeth everyday. What would cause this and can it be corrected? The other thing I have noticed since the bridge on the right was placed is that it doesn’t feel like it is on the tooth right. I can feel a small part of my tooth between the bridge and my gum line. Could this be the cause?
I have a year old 6 unit porcelain bridge in top front of mouth .I notice that it not as white about the bottom 1/8 of an inch. On the two front ones. It�s almost like they are clear and you can see a difference when I put my tongue behind them. Is this normal in some bridges? The bridge that this replaced was not like that it lasted 23 years. I lighten the bottom teeth to keep them as white as my bridge I�m wondering last time I got a bunch of peroxide on the back of this bridge is making my problem worse? I have read that bleaching has no effect on porcelain. I appreciate your time in answering me.
Thanks,
Dr.Solanki,A year and a half ago,my regular dentist made me a bridge of 6 upper teeth,I have been unhappy since.I have expressed to him that when I DON’T smile big and when I’m talking,it looks like I don’t have any teeth!The teeth are perfectly aligned and look nice at the gumline but I can bite down on something flat and it is obvious they are arched upward.I told him this shortly after it was made but he just now finally tells me he can add on to my existing bridge with some substance to make them longer, and if it does not work he can remove the added on part and my bridge will not be damaged.Can this be done sucessfuly,look normal and hold up,and be removed without any damage?I cannot afford to replace this one(he says it cannot be removed anyway,and he has’nt offered)but this is interfering with my self confidence that I was supposed to be gaining from this procedure. Please help!
I had bridge work done approx 20 years ago and now I can see metal in spots showing through where before it was white. Surely I haven’t brushed off the outer coating…..now what?
