My 3 Unit Bridge Has Been Poorly Fitted And Now My Gum Is Inflamed. How Should I Proceed?

Q.

Hi Mark. I had 3 unit front teeth dental bridge done 4 years ago. I noticed that the gum is red above the abutment teeth. I am not sure when this started. My dentist says my bridge was poorly fitted hence the inflammation. He fitted a temporary bridge and said the inflammation would disappear but two weeks later it hasn’t. I also noticed that the crowns go deep into the gum line. I am afraid of receding gums due to this bridge. How should I proceed? Should I get a denture? Or should I opt for an implant? What should I do? Thanks.

What Price Range Am I Looking At For A Unit 3 Bridge And A Crown Support?

Tuesday, January 28th, 2014
Q.

Hi Mark. It seems I need a 3 unit bridge but one of the teeth must have a crown to support the bridge as it is in danger of cracking or splitting.
The area is in the top left hand side. This specifically refers to the last three teeth in the set. The far left one is gold crowned and on the right hand side the tooth is in poor condition.
What is the price range likely to be for the whole course of treatment – including everything including extraction of the middle tooth that cannot be saved. Regards.
