Tooth bridges has caused lot of problems
Q. My 23-year-old daughter has a 6 tooth bridge across one incisor to the other. This was because she was missing 2 laterals. This was done instead of implants because of severe bone loss of the missing laterals and not enough space for implants. She did have braces but unfortunately had an orthodontist that didn’t know what he was doing, causing these problems. An excellent prosthodontist suggested either redo braces and gum grafting or a bridge. For monetary reasons and my daughter not wanting go through this all over again for years she chose a bridge. This is when she was 19. Is it possible for her to get implants and crowns or once a bridge, always at bridge?
A. It doesn’t sounds like anything has changed regarding the space or bone for implants and now the teeth have been trimmed (i presume) it isn’t really worth considering replacing everything. If the bridge starts to fail then the situation may change and implants may become an option then.
A few weeks ago a tooth on a bridge broke. I saw my dentist immediately and he said the bridge was stable and the rest of the tooth OK.However the area above the tooth is now red and sore. What should do please?
I am frightened to bite on that side of the mouth now.
Thank you.
