Could I not have a new bridge from Ur1 to Ur4? or is this too long???

Saturday, March 28th, 2009
Q.
I currently have a bridge fitted in the front of my mouth, Ur2-Ur4 Ur1 it tender when tapped, as I often get a gum boil above the bridge, so I was hoping my dentist would do rootcanal in UR1 and fit a new bridge. My bridge has been there for over 18 years and only in the last two years my gums have shrunk so you can see the enamel of the bridge. My dentist has not recommended a new bridge as the bone has obvious shrunk over the last 18 years, he has recommended implants supporting a bridge at £5500.00, unfortunatley I can not afford this now as I am a stay at home mum. So my husband foots the bill! could I not have a new bridge from Ur1 to Ur4? or is this too long??? Many thanks.

With the replacement of crowns and addition of lumineer veneers will gums recede and create more plaque?

Q.
My dentist is going to replace crowns on the 2 front teeth. He has also suggested to put lumineer vaneers on the two teeth next to the crowns, for cosmetic reasons. Will he have to scrabe the teeth first? Will there be any problems in the future ie if the gums recede? ( I am 53 years old). Will the teeth be affected in any way because of the vaneer ie collect more plaque? especially near the gums?
